In this TALKS Episode, Tim engages in a deep conversation with Pete Enns and Liz Charlotte Grant about the complexities of the Bible, especially in the context of deconstruction and progressive Christianity. They explore the authority of scripture, the challenges of finding a moral framework in a complicated world, and the historical context of biblical inerrancy. The discussion emphasizes the need for a nuanced understanding of the Bible as a collection of stories and wisdom rather than a strict manual for life. In this conversation, the speakers explore the themes of spiritual agency, the dialogue of theology, and the merging of artistic and scholarly perspectives in biblical interpretation.
