When Jesus went missing at the age of 12 his parents Joseph and Mary found him in the Temple debating with the priests.
And he said to them, "I must be about my Father's business." Luke 2:49 (KJV)
It is clear from the context that the Father's business is the study and interpretation of the scriptures.
And this is where Progressive Christianity is strong.
The discussion of the history and context of each passage of scripture is scrupulous and intelligent.
Contemporary scholarship that takes into account the worldview and beliefs of each writer of scripture is now available to everyone.
So we must be about our Father's business.
[KJV - King James Version]
