Re: 10 principles for reading the Bible in a postmodern context

Re: 10 principles for reading the Bible in a postmodern context

Much of this strikes me as Naieve Positivism. Point 3 is the post modern equivalent of the modern categories “Objective and Subjective”. Points 5, 6 and 8 are fantastic, but they are not taken far enough. We need to read the Bible as one complete story that chronicles God’s dealings with humanity, his chosen people, over thousands of years. We need to read it as a meta narrative that governs the smaller ones.
