Yesterday I was at Chelmsford Cathedral for a clergy synod during which David Ford, Regius Professor of Divinity at the University of Cambridge, spoke on the theme: 'If you have the Bible in one hand, what is in the other?' (Post your answers below!)
It was a useful morning with several helpful insights on ways of reading scripture wisely. David Ford's talk has been well summarised by Sam Norton on his blog, so click here to have a read.

My answer would be 'a bar of soap'. Some of the most productive times of reading the Bible have been while in the bath and having a good soak while soaking in scripture! It's often a great place to start with sermon preparation as the mind begins to roam from the text and make connections. I thought David Ford was excellent, though he should have been given more time, and Sam's post if a very good summary.
