On Scripture...

The last two days, Mike Cope has written some helpful things on the nature of the B-I-B-L-E. If you haven't had a chance to check them out yet, you might do so. You can find them here and here.

On Monday night I started the second incarnation of a senior level class at Rochester College in Luke-Acts. We had to struggle together with some of these very questions as we did all of that wonderful background work to the text and tried to explore the Synoptic problem. It was refreshing to read Mike's posts on the nature of Scripture in a setting that is designed for the church. All too often, that question is relegated to the academy and our churhc members are left with what might not be the healthiest view of Scripture.

Anyway, I hope you get a chnace to check out Mike's thoughts and let them challenge your assumptions on the B-I-B-L-E.
