In The Dynamics of Human Life in the Bible: Receptivity and Power,
Martin J. Buss describes the dynamics of human life that are
encouraged in the Bible and how biblical guidance compares with
other religious traditions. The dynamics include both receptivity
("from" another) and power ("for" or "over" another), often in
combination ("with" another). For example, love joins receptive
cognition of worth with energetic support. Receptivity, the only
way to deal with fundamental values, seeks material and religious
benefits and is the human side of revelation and salvation. Public
acknowledgement strengthens divine influence. Furthermore,
receptivity accepts challenges. These include individual and social
growth and semi-identification with others, which has societal
rather than concrete individual consequences. Power is crucial in
legal remedies and penalties. Life with others is important in
practical "wisdom" and in Christian "mutual love." Busse finds that
biblical directives parallel those of non-Christian religious
traditions. This situation is in line with biblical views of
general revelation and developments in history.
