"Inspiration and Incarnation" by Peter Enns

"Inspiration and Incarnation" by Peter Enns

book review by Riley Burnham 9/11/2023

really good(!)

this ia a Deep-dive into Biblical histories: from contradictions in scripture to cultural & political contexts that produced these & similar(!) works

we get a very sober, thoughtful, articulate view of these matters -- pointing out how flood myths occur in other texts from adjacent locations, hinting at an older tradition being conveyed by Genesis

we get conversations about Jesus, his meaning, & anything like 'science' to help bolster his reality or fiction [the author proposes reality it seems]

i like themes, & this challenges some foundational thoughts; so i'm all welcome to it
