The Bible Tells Me So
Why Defending Scripture Has Made Us Unable to Read It
by:
Peter Enns
in:
Christianity
Summary:
The book challenges traditional evangelical views on biblical inerrancy and literalism, arguing for a more nuanced understanding of Scripture that acknowledges its diverse and culturally conditioned nature. It encourages readers to engage with the Bible in a way that embraces its complexities and contradictions, rather than defending it against modern scrutiny.
Key points:
1. Human Nature of the Bible: Enns states the Bible is a human document, influenced by its authors' contexts, making it imperfect and diverse.
