This is helpful on so many levels. It seems to speak to the idea that the Bible is univocal in its message, which is something I took in with out questioning it. Seeing the Bible as a library instead of a book frees me from that univocal message and allows me to see the various voices and the complexities that are present in the texts.

Love this! Thanks for reading and sharing!
Great work Josh. I have a question for you. How do you define 'progressive' as in ...you are a Progressive Christiann?

Thank you, Cheryl! That’s a great question. Someone else just asked me that yesterday. I think I’ll answer it with my next post. Stay tuned!
"Ransom note hermeneutic" I like it! I often refer to this approach (which I used for decades) as "Lego-bricking the Bible."
Also a great metaphor!
