2nd Rate Academic Subject?

1 Comment

“While I would not want to seem to be advocating a “Bible as Literature” approach, wherein the Bible is viewed as no more than one religious text among many, I would contend that the Bible requires the most rigorous academic study still, and the Christian school is one of the places where that ought to be done.  This is not a second-rate academic discipline, to be taken lightly, or taught by just anyone.  The Bible has stretched the best minds in history—not forgetting that it has also been the source of salvation, enlightenment, and comfort to millions of uneducated men and women as well.” (Piety and Philosophy, p. 141)
