Inspiration alone is not sufficient

I read this book over the summer and finished it last week. I feel like Clark Pinnock is a kindred spirit, and that he sums up the whole of Messiah College's Bible major in one work. He is not afraid to contemplate parts of the Bible being written as legend, while still seeing that literary form as a way God speaks to us. Neither is he afraid to affirm the extraordinary (miracles) as quite authentic and believeable, but he points out that merely accepting the account as true does not mean that God is speaking to us. Two small examples from the book: Instead of looking at Bible-reading as an interaction between text and reader, we should include the role of the Holy Spirit as indispensable. Instead of merely seeing God's role in inspiring the Scriptures via the writers, we should value God's role as the illuminator of the Scriptures to the readers. Cover to cover, it is an awesome book Pinnock has written, and should be read and understood by every critic of fundamentalist beliefs. It takes a great mind to get past the modernist framing of what the Bible is all about, but it takes an even greater mind to put all of that cross-worldview understanding into words as Pinnock has done in this amazing opus!
