I have a quote from John Webster (which I'll post some time) that offers a critique of the Yale school (in particular, Lindbeck and Frei); noting that they don't go far enough in their grounding of Scripture---that is, he notes that they fail to take the necessary step of grounding an ontology of scripture in the life of God's communicative act in Christ for us; instead, as he notes, they ground Scripture in the church's communicative activity which just doesn't quite cut the muster (and I agree with Webster). Yes, we definitely need to get past it's just me and my bible mentality! We just need to get past the "me" mentality in general ;-)!Bobby Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831009618873548948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934219918554432299.post-38396591205580587692012-05-03T09:28:01.807-07:002012-05-03T09:28:01.807-07:00Thanks, Brian!Thanks, Brian!Bobby Growhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06831009618873548948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934219918554432299.post-20861860380683029522012-05-02T14:57:24.531-07:002012-05-02T14:57:24.531-07:00I think this is incredibly important. Though I do...I think this is incredibly important. Though I dont buy everything within the so-called Yale school, I have always appreciated David Kelsey's claim that our doctrine of God and our understanding of scripture are mutually implicative, and modifications in one will modify the other. I honestly think grasping this principle, or something like it, is one of the most major issues that needs to be communicated in churches, especially ones with a "its just me and the bible" mentality.Derrickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02980335588249061948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2934219918554432299.post-89891536777707756582012-05-02T14:55:54.671-07:002012-05-02T14:55:54.671-07:00Couldn't agree more Bobby.
