Empowering the Bible |
 |
| The Bible’s power has been held hostage to fundamentalism (that reads the text bitterly) and to secular reductionism (that ignores the human spiritual quest). The result: educated people distance themselves from all religion as the backward habitation of fanatics. Liberating the Bible means reading it closely, and reading it with its purpose in mind. When this is done, the Bible’s power to contact us with the splendor of the transcendent divine becomes accessible to us. |
