Struggling with Scripture

Reading through a great book called Struggling with Scripture by Walter Brueggemann. He identifies six facets of biblical interpretation that I think are good ways to think about the Bible.

Inherency - "The Bible is forceful and consistent in its main theological claim"...Creation, Fall, and Redemption (11)

Interpretation - "The Bible requires and insists upon human interpretation that is inescapably subjective, necessarily provisional, and, as you are living witnesses, inevitably disputatious." (13)

More to come when I get the book!
