Please Read Before Submitting a Question: The scholars at the American Bible Society are pleased to respond to questions about biblical texts, the contexts in which the Bible was created and translated and in which it is being read, as well as to questions about its uses in a variety of Christian traditions. Our responses will acknowledge the full range of traditional Christian understandings and interpretations of these biblical texts.
Queries dealing with highly personal and ethical issues, explicit doctrinal matters, or concerns that suggest the need for professional counseling are not within the purview or sphere of our expertise. For such matters, the American Bible Society encourages you to seek the counsel of a clergyperson, licensed professional, or trusted individual from your own religious tradition.

[Special Note: Every question is important to us and each will receive a reply. However, the volume and complexity of the questions we receive influence the speed of our reply. We thank you for your patience.]
