The Bible: Story Or Systematic Theology?
My friend Jimmy Davis has an interesting post on this hot-topic question. He writes:
Are we to read the Bible as a story or as a systematic theology? It depends on whom you ask. The “emergent” types will emphasize the narrative character of God’s Word and some will eschew any approach to the Bible that systematizes its teaching into categories or creeds. On the other side of the table the “traditionalists” will fend for the faith by emphasizing doctrinal purity and a passion for propositional truth while sometimes missing the dramatic forest for the didactic trees. I often find myself defending one view or the other.
