Excerpt #2...
"If we really engage with the Bible in this serious way we will find, I believe, that we will be set free from (among other things) some of the small-scale evangelical paranoia which goes on about scripture....Of course the Bible is inspired, and if you’re using it like this [reading large portions] there won’t be any question in your mind that the Bible is inspired..."
Of course you will discover that the Bible will not let you down. You will be paying attention to it; you won’t be sitting in judgement over it. But you won’t come with a preconceived notion of what this or that passage has to mean if it is to be true. You will discover that God is speaking new truth through it."
