Friday Musings - September 29

As significant fresh work is done in various disciplines, including theology and science, evangelicals are going to have to realize that the Bible is not a book dropped from heaven that answers all our questions, nor is it an inerrant vehicle for a direct communication from God. I’d wager the real story is rather more complex and multi-layered than this. When the essential and challenging relevance of reading both the natural world and the biblical world informers is eventually accepted, evangelicals may begin to realize that their “whole notion of revelation” has to be exposed to new light with regard to what we can know and actually don’t know.
