While the evolving picture of nature is looking
likely, it’s also important to recognize that the more the biblical story
advances, through surprising encounters, choices, and detours, the clearer it
becomes that this too is an evolving narrative. Think of the way, for example,
developing Israel emerges into the Messiah, how the Spirit in the gospel of
John flourishes in Paul’s letters, and why the golden age in Jerusalem provokes
a mission to the ends of the earth. The natural world and biblical text informers
are related and distinct in telling God’s story – both evolve, yet with quite different
characteristics and features.
