MORE THAN THERAPYTHE RESOURCE LIBRARY

THE READING ROOM

Words to sit with.
Context to keep close.

312 selected passages across ten perspectives. Read the source, notice the translation, and keep interpretation open.

What you are reading

Sacred scripture, philosophical texts, a contemporary community explanation, and an organizational motto are different kinds of writing. Each card identifies its source. Older English translations retain historical gendered language; it does not define who may participate. Selected verses omit the surrounding chapters, and short excerpts omit additional words; follow the source link before drawing theological conclusions. No tradition is exhaustively represented.
