"It was during the Enlightenment that the foundation of the Christian faith shifted from the centrality of the person and the work of Jesus Christ to the centrality of the Bible. Theology shifted from the God who acts to the God who spoke. In the worst scenario faith shifted from trust in Christ to trust in the Book. Therefore, the first question we must address as evangelicals in a postmodern world is this: Do we believe in a book or a person?
"The issue in a postmodern world is not to prove the Bible, but to restore the message of the Bible, a message which, when proclaimed by the power of the Spirit, takes up residence within those who know how to hear."
– Robert E. Webber, Ancient-Future Faith.
How have you mis-focused on the Bible? Is your focus on Christ- the Historical Figure or Christ- the Living Son of God?
