I think I am going to get into trouble with some
people re my last sentence. For "receive" read "do anything with". Be informed
by other things I have written on this theme. Don't go wondering if I believe in inspiration. But, as someone I was
talking with today suggested, it is probable that even those who wrote
Scripture down did not have all of the meaning of it in their
heads...

Theologians and what is important
I agree that
just about everybody is in some very important sense a theologian--in the same
sense, in fact, in which everyone is a philosopher or is religious, and that
this doesn't make such terms meaningless. It is good to remind people
that there is not a whole lot of difference between them asking and trying to
answer questions about God, and Barth (or whoever) doing the same thing. There
is a difference in the tools brought to bear, or the level of detail, but
there is no difference in the nature of the activity or its significance
(because the questions arise out of the interface between Scripture and
life and the answers are ploughed back into living, at least to
some extent). But this probably does not fly with those people (not you,
David--I believe you have set me straight on that) who believe it is possible
to receive revelation without doing any interpreting or
integrating.
