The Character of God and the Nature of Scripture: Reading the Bible Incarnationally #1-- Introduction

Last week my friend, Dan Hawk posted a three part series on violence in the Old Testament (part 1, part 2, part 3). It was offered as a response to Adam Hamilton's discussion of the same subject on his blog (part 1, part 2, part 3). That discussion is the motivation for this series of posts I begin today on reading the Bible incarnationally. In today's post I simply want to outline my discussion.

1. The Character of God and the Nature of Scripture: Reading the Bible Incarnationally #1-- Introduction


2. The Character of God and the Nature of Scripture: Reading the Bible Incarnationally #2-- Inerrancy and Protecting* the Character of Scripture

3. The Character of God and the Nature of Scripture: Reading the Bible Incarnationally #3-- Rejecting the Whole Tenor of Scripture to Protect* the Character of God

4. The Character of God and the Nature of Scripture: Reading the Bible Incarnationally #4-- An Incarnational Hermeneutic and the Old Testament

5. The Character of God and the Nature of Scripture: Reading the Bible Incarnationally #5-- An Incarnational Hermeneutic and the New Testament

6. The Character of God and the Nature of Scripture: Reading the Bible Incarnationally #6-- Concluding Reflections

After I publish post 3, I may revise subsequent posts somewhat.

I welcome all interaction, discussion, and dissenting voices.

*I do not use the word "protect" here in a commendable way. Neither God nor the Scripture are in need of protection.
