Sample text
Not only do the biblical writers have different theological emphases, it is claimed, they actually teach contradictory things about God, man, salvation, and so forth. Blaising argues that this charge is unwarranted and that the multiple theologies in the biblical books are consistent and unified. Chapter 16 is devoted to defending the integrity of the biblical canon. In addition to discussing the process of canonization for both the Old and New Testaments, the article responds to the claims of Elaine Pagels, Bart Ehrman, and others that some biblical books were included in the Christian canon, and others excluded, for purely political reasons by those in the theological community that gained prominence in the patristic church.

Chad: So you’re trying to get away with suggesting the possible as a substitute for making a positive claim. Danielle: That’s because I can get away with it. 6 Danielle: Not at all. Remember, our question was whether God can speak to us. That’s a question about what is possible. I haven’t been arguing that God has in fact spoken to us. Actually, I haven’t done much of the arguing at all.
