How we use scripture

[Dufrdan]

I've just posted a review by Jay Guin of Scot McKnight's new book, The Blue Parakeet, which discloses some of the mistakes we make when reading the NT.  Good stuff.

To a large degree, we are all prisoners of our genes,
family beliefs, mentors, experiences, traditions, and
culture. Each represents a bar on the window of
our prison cell. Our perception of what is true and
eternal is colored by each bar. To deny this truth is
not just to add another bar, but to add one which
is stronger than the rest combined. Our only escape
is through a never-ending quest for truth. Christian
integrity in a setting of intellectual freedom demands
that we never stop searching. The world and the
church are better because men and women dare
question that which has already been settled, if for
no other reason than the personal confirmation of
one's  belief, rather than having one's faith simply
passed on from generation to generation.
