I always appreciate the insight and posture of Brian Zahnd, including his latest thoughts on Scripture:
The supreme value of the treasure that is Holy Scripture is that it is the divine witness to the Word of God who is Christ.
If you can’t see the distinction between Jesus and the Bible, you are very confused indeed! And not in a trivial manner either. Biblicism is a rival faith to Christianity. Oh, believe me, I have a high view of Scripture…but Jesus is Lord! It is Christ who rules the nations… not the Bible. Can I give an example of how this distinction might matter? Consider that the Bible does not give a clear denunciation of slavery, but the living and reigning Christ surely does!
