Bible study

Group examines scripture

Bible study is the practice of reading and analyzing scripture, typically in a group setting with discussion.

It can refer to the activity itself, the gathering where it occurs, or the materials used: She leads a Wednesday night Bible study, I forgot my Bible study at home.

The term implies engaged examination rather than casual reading.
