reading scripture
Perusing holy text
Reading scripture is the practice of engaging with sacred religious texts—the Bible, Quran, Torah, or other holy writings.
The phrase implies deliberate, often devotional attention rather than casual reading: She spends each morning reading scripture.
In religious communities, reading scripture may be private meditation or public recitation during worship services.
