What do Lutherans believe about Scripture?
The Lutheran church of which we are a part holds Scripture as inspired by the Holy Spirit and written by human authors. It holds the life-giving message of God’s love plus folklore, historical narratives, legends, even some pretty gory stories. We take it seriously enough to really read it in its context, and hold all of its content up to Jesus Christ and his love. Lutherans read the Bible first and foremost to find Jesus and the Gospel there.
