Since my theology took a left turn, I've been mulling on the question of the Bible. What is it for? What authority does it hold in my life? Do I still think it's "inspired" by God? Is it inerrant, and if not, is it authoritative in any way over my thinking and living? Should I still read it? Obey it?
What do I make of this ancient book now that I'm no longer an "evangelical"?
My hunch is that I'm not the only progressive Christian who is now reimagining how I interact with the Bible. So, I'd love to hear your thoughts about the Bible, too.
This poll is informal research about how progressive Christians view the Bible now, and I hope to write about the answers I receive.
I'm grateful for each one of you that is taking time to think through the question with me today. I hope it's a healing practice for you.
Sincerely,
Liz Charlotte Grant
