“Paul Ricoeur relates the meaning of the biblical story to the interpreter’s reaction to it” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 8)

“Fackre holds that the loss of the authority of Scripture is a key to the deterioration of much contemporary theology, and he proposes to reassert the primacy of Scripture in systematic theology and in the life of the church. Significantly, he holds that scriptural centrality is grounded in and warranted by a doctrine of revelation that entails biblical inspiration and consequently the trustworthiness of prophetic-apostolic testimony. Scriptural trustworthiness attaches to the authorial intention of the biblical texts and implies a unity of Scipture that invites use of the analogy of faith in its interpretation.” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 15)

“Whatever its differences from evangelical orthodoxy, narrative theology reaffirms that the Bible persists as a harmonious unity towering above cultural and historical differences; that historical criticism has not invalidated the relevance of Scripture; that the biblical world spanning creation to consummation is the real world wherein mankind inescapably lives; that Scripture’s depiction of life is challenging and compelling; that the reconciliation of mankind remains a crucial theological enterprise; that affirmation of Jesus as the indispensable Saviour remains on the human agenda as an imperative decision.” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 15)

“Yet no direct argument merely for the historical factuality of the resurrection is made vis-a-vis modern historical criticism, despite the fact that the NT itself affirms that historical disconfirmation of the resurrection would undermine the Christian faith.” (Volume 8, Number 1, Page 7)
