When we insist on historicizing the biblical text, we diminish its value as a teaching. “Did that really happen?” we often ask and then look for verification. It is likewise a calamity when we hear Scripture as a philosophy, in Greek, the “love of wisdom.” The Bible was written against human wisdom, and its teaching is that true wisdom is to found in the words of instruction which proceed out of the mouth of God. Scripture is self-referential: to understand its teaching, our only reference can be the text itself. Only in the promise that it offers do we have hope (Romans 15:4).
