Grasp it, or pick it apart? Indeed an important question. What is the Bible theologically? I say the Word is the teachings of God made manifest in this world: in human flesh incarnated as Jesus Christ, and in human words the writings which make up our Bible. And as these intersect mystically in the LOGOS, we are presented with a holy mystery much more profound than the spiritual flatness of proof-texting can ever provide.
