    The Bible<\/h1>\n\n\n\n

    The 39 Articles, a 1536 foundational document of Anglican theology, relates that \u201cHoly Scripture containeth all things necessary to salvation.\u201d The Scriptures, comprised of the Old and New Testament, as well as some apocryphal texts, were written under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    The Bible is of extraordinary importance to Episcopal worship; during a Sunday morning service, the congregation will usually hear at least three readings from Scripture, and much of the liturgy from The Book of Common Prayer is based explicitly on the Biblical texts. According to the Catechism, \u201cWe understand the meaning of the Bible by the help of the Holy Spirit, who guides the Church in the true interpretation of the Scriptures\u201d (p. 853-4)<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    There are several translations of the Bible authorized for use, including:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n
