Why We Built This

The Bible is meant to be read.

Sacred Scrolls is built so you actually will. We didn't write these words — the Church did.

  • Ignorance of the Scriptures is ignorance of Christ.

    St. Jerome Commentary on Isaiah, prologue
  • The Church 'forcefully and specifically exhorts all the Christian faithful… to learn the surpassing knowledge of Jesus Christ, by frequent reading of the divine Scriptures.'

    Catechism of the Catholic Church §133, citing Dei Verbum
  • In the Sacred Books, the Father who is in heaven meets His children with great love and speaks with them.

    Second Vatican Council Dei Verbum §21
  • The Word of God invites each of us to a relationship of dialogue — to read the Bible is to enter a conversation with Christ.

    Pope Benedict XVI Verbum Domini §86 (paraphrase)
