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.
