The Problem with the 'Handbook Model' of Reading the Bible

This chapter discusses the issue with the 'handbook model' of interpreting the Bible, which assumes that every affirmation in the Bible teaches doctrine and morals. The speaker explains that this model fails to consider the various types of biblical texts and explores different interpretive traditions within Protestantism. They also discuss the concept of theological triage and question the inconsistency in using the argument of practices not commanded nor forbidden by Scripture in relation to praying to the saints and the Holy Spirit.
