“The Bible is sort of like a means of grace. It’s almost like it’s not a sacrament, but it’s almost like a sacrament. It’s something you engage and by the act of engaging it and even struggling with it, you’re actually communing with God in some way.
— Pete Enns
This is an honest and invigorating conversation with Dr. Peter Enns, scholar and author. Steve explores What is the Bible? How do we interpret the Bible in today’s world?
Controversial evangelical Bible scholar, popular blogger, podcast host of The Bible for Normal People, and author of The Bible Tells Me So and The Sin of Certainty, Dr. Peter Enns explains that the Bible is not an instruction manual or rule book but a powerful learning tool that nurtures our spiritual growth by refusing to provide us with easy answers but instead forces us to acquire wisdom.
Is the Bible authoritative in our daily life and world events?
What did God have in mind in offering us 66 books?
This is a conversation that will disturb some of us and challenge others. It’s time to re-think the Bible in light of the Bible becoming a weapon to beat up each other with.
Dr. Peter Enns (PhD, Harvard University) is Abram S. Clemens professor of Biblical Studies at Eastern University, St. Davids, PA. He has taught courses at several other institutions including Harvard University, Fuller Theological Seminary, and Princeton Theological Seminary. Enns is a frequent contributor to journals and encyclopedias, and is the author of several books, including The Sin of Certainty, How the Bible Actually Works, and The Bible Tells Me So.
