Scripture or sacred writings are those collections of stories, poems, laws, annals, letters, love poems, prophecies and wise sayings which are regarded as sacred and necessary for salvation. A faith community regards its scriptures as essential to the teaching of its faith and the telling of its story. Scripture is used in public worship, as the basis of prayer, and for private edification and devotion. It is best engaged with enthusiastically and creatively as a basis for discussion and debate. The imaginative interpretation of scripture is what enables it to engage with succeeding generations of believers.
