<<This question obviously makes me realize you have failed to grasp the
thrust of my challenge to Jim Bell. My point is simply that it is not
possible to operate without extra-biblical justifications/categories. The
Bible is not a text of epistemology.>>
But Denis, Justin and I have been waiting for you to give a positive account
of your hermeneutics. Would you mind telling us please how a Christian should
approach the Word of God? Are you a syntheticist a la Barth? A pneumaticist, a
la the early church fathers? A subjectivist? Existentialist? Historical
critic? Process-metaphysician (a la John Cobb)? What? What are YOUR categories
and approaches? Some clarification would be appreciated!
