Scripture…“The major significance of the Bible is not that it is a book, but rather that it reflects the life of the community of Israel and the primitive church as those communities sought to come to terms with the central reality that God was present with them in ways that regularly outran their ability to understand or cope.” -- Paul Achtmeier quoted in Revisioning Evangelical Theology by Grenz p. 122
