This work represents the attempts of several major scholars to respond to the historical problems presented throughout the biblical testimony and their description of what this means for reading scripture. Walter Brueggemann, for example, has written a wonderful article on various historical problems within the book of Genesis, beginning with Von Rad's and Noth's use of source criticism and his own understanding of how historically dissimilar texts can function within scripture. This book honors the work and life of Gerald Sheppard, who broke ground in biblical studies by describing what it means to read the Bible as Jewish and Christian Scripture. It distinguishes between the original historical dimensions of the text or mere redaction levels of tradition history and what Sheppard regarded as the "Scriptural Form" of the biblical testimony. It provides new and fresh ways for describing scripture as both a human testimony and also divine revelation. The Bible as a Human Witness to Divine Revelation provides examples of how major scholars have responded to the limits of the older-modern criticisms within the framework of still applying a variety of historical criticisms and paying attention to the later formation and context of the biblical book. It also helps readers understand how to hear "the word of God" through biblical text that are filled with historical dissimilarities or even contradictions. The book shows scholarly examples that respond to crises of both the pre-modern and modern eras as unfinished projects because pre-modernity tended to ignore the human dimensions of scripture and modernity tended to limit its inquiry only to that single dimension.
The Ultimate Heart-ConnectionIn a World Full of RejectionBack in 1981, the real life story of a Commoner in the United Kingdom rose to global notoriety from the announcement of her engagement to royalty. This young lady born into an old, aristocratic English family exchanged her former identity for royal connections... only to get rejected. Who am I speaking of? Lady Diana, Princess of Wales. This popular international media icon of the late 20th century captured my attention along with a global audience of over 750 million people on her wedding day. I was captivated by her story as an example of an exchanged identity. However, since then, I discovered there is a greater exchange offered by the Life Exchanger to every common person for the highest status of royalty in the Heavenly Kingdom.Welcome to a common story with a royal ending.
