The Nature of Scripture
This entry is part of a set of discussions on Inhabiting God's Story
This discussion is still forthcoming, and it's a long-term project. The discussions below are relevant to this subject in some way—whether because they explore aspects of Scripture, or because they show how I'm handling biblical texts, which shows how I'm coming to understand the nature of Scripture.
If I were to recommend just a couple of sources on this subject, I would start with these:
- Seven Things I Wish Christians Knew about the Bible, by Michael F. Bird (I would start here, a lighter read)
- The Reformation and the Right Reading of Scripture, by Iain Provan (a longer project but very rewarding)
