nWe may try to solve
complex questions of interaction between our
academic field and Scripture by ignoring one
or the other, or by isolating one from the
other.
nPerhaps we misunderstand the Bible here.
nPerhaps we wish to get along better with our academic colleagues, or with our fellow believers.
nOur responsibility is
to be fair, both to the academic field
and to the Bible, whether this position is
popular or not.
