    The document discusses different interpretations of the Bible as a source of authority. It provides a literal interpretation view that sees the Bible as completely authoritative in all situations. It also provides a liberal interpretation that sees the Bible as written by humans but inspired by God, requiring interpretation in light of modern times using reason and discernment. Key points include that the Bible contains moral guidance from the Ten Commandments and teachings from Jesus and St. Paul. It is considered the word of God but some feel needs contextualization.
