In a talk from The Coming Home Network’s 2010 Deep in History Conference, Marcus Grodi looks at the role of Scripture in the Christian life. Most Christians agree that in their belief that the Bible is infallible and inspired, but can’t agree on how to interpret it. Marcus reflects on his own journey with the Bible, shares how it came to direct and inform his life, and looks at how his respect and reverence for the Word of God played a large part in leading him to the Catholic Church.
