The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Enns and Wright - a different God

John,

Both Enns and Wright, although Enns is far "ahead" of Wright, redefine what Scripture IS and/or how it is to be recognized. For Enns, of course, it is a fallible book of culturally bound musings. For Wright, it can only be understood through the lens of "Second Temple Judaism", i.e., by imposing the writings of fallible unbelieving Jews upon Scripture, which de facto relegates Scripture as a secondary authority.

Consequently, with such views of the Bible, anything goes and nothing is true propositionally, i.e., there is no such thing as "true truth", as Schaeffer wrote.

A good counter to such heretical nonsense is J.I. Packer's article, Freedom and Authority, and Herman Ridderbos' article, The Inspiration and Authority of Holy Scripture.
