Rethinking Bible's Value
- The Bible's value lies beyond historical or scientific accuracy, offering spiritual and moral wisdom instead.
- Modern expectations misplace certainty in the Bible, whereas ancient readers embraced it as a source of spiritual growth and faith dialogue.

- The question "Does the Bible still matter?" often arises after traditional views offer a binary choice about the Bible's authority.
- Moving beyond this binary opens new ways to appreciate the Bible's spiritual value.

- Faith is not a static foundation but a dynamic process involving continuous questioning and relationship.
- This applies to the Bible where spiritual growth requires embracing ambiguity, not demanding certainty.
