Why Are There So Many Interpretations of the Bible and What Should We Do About It?

Why Are There So Many Interpretations of the Bible and What Should We Do About It?

Recently, I had a comment from a listener who said, “If you give the same Bible to two billion people and tell them to interpret it for themselves, won’t they come up with more than two billion interpretations?” They then explained that the Catholic solution to this problem is the Pope. I'd like to consider the problem the listener raises and the solution that he offers.
