Quote: Too Biblical
Apparently, Noll and others like him believe that one can be too biblical. In other words, both creationists and dispensationalists start scholarship with a “thus saith the Lord.” We start with God’s revelation as our framework through which we interpret every area of life. What’s wrong with that? I believe that it is the only view that gives proper place to the view that the Bible does provide us with accurate information about whatever it speaks about. It appears that Noll does not want to start with God’s Word as the authoritative framework with which to view every area of life, but desires to blend with the Bible pagan sources and viewpoints. This synthesis of a secular viewpoint, with some Bible thrown in, is what Noll calls evangelical scholarship. I have heard that snake venom has about 80 to 85% protein, but using it as a protein source will be deadly.
