The New Readers of Scripture: Responsive, Not Reactive is the article by Rev. Morales. Published on the Patheos blog site which furthers the discussion of faith-related issues, Jose discusses a new, third way of reading the Bible. Morales notes, "A new way—a third way—is emerging, particularly among younger believers. This new way is neither fully conservative nor fully liberal. These staid conventions, these languid labels, are no longer apt or useful. This new tradition of readers is renewing its commitment to Scripture in life-generative ways, transcending the trite tirades of old and moving beyond reactionary concerns about either the credibility of inerrancy or the contemporary desire to deconstruct everything."
