This study introduces biblical meditation as a contemplative way of entering Scripture, not merely to gain information, but to listen for the living voice of God. Drawing from the spiritual teaching of Henri Nouwen, it explains how Scripture can move from the head to the heart, form solitude, silence competing voices, deepen compassion, and help believers recover their identity as God’s beloved children. The study also provides practical guidance for beginning and sustaining the practice of biblical meditation through silence, slow reading, prayer, reflection, and carrying God’s Word into daily life.
