The Wonder of It All: Mystery and Meaning of Scripture explores the
idea that error often appears as pairs of opposites. In this
regard, we either minimize the persisting mystery or apparent
meaning of Scripture. With this in mind, the present text is an
attempt to cultivate a needed balance. Mystery first invites our
attention. Paul observes, "We speak of God's secret wisdom, a
wisdom that has been hidden and that God destined for our glory
before time began" (1 Cor. 2:7). In the singular, "the term
'mystery' ordinarily refers to something formerly hidden in God and
from all human eyes but now revealed in history through Christ and
made understandable to his people through the Spirit." As such,
mystery is primarily associated with God and his initiatives. We
next turn our attention from mystery to meaning, taking a common
sense approach to biblical interpretation. This is by way of
exploring the implications of inspiration, the significance of
salvation history, literary genre, context, general hermeneutics,
and ethical implications. We conclude with two case studies
concerning Genesis and Luke/Acts.
