As we look at Scripture, we see that God’s revelation is revealed progressively over the course of history. Without an awareness of the “flow” of God’s story, it’s easy to cherry pick Bible verses…
Very good. A good study would be how progressive revelation differs from dispensationalism (because it does rather radically) and a surface understanding of this article could assume the same meaning. Slaves, Women and Homosexuals was a great work of progressive revelation / redemptive direction. Bill Webb really gives good tools for understanding that kind of movement through scripture. Gordon Fee's timeless work 'How to read the Bible for all it is worth' still holds its own when doing the hermeneutical task
‘God overlooks and “accommodates” human ignorance or bad ideas as He progressively reveals himself to the world over the course of biblical history.’
Been thinking a lot about this lately! How much (if any) is God overlooking/ “accomodating” currently ? Or is there no need for accomodation of worldview now due to the revelation of Christ ? Is unity our only hope? So we can have a fuller revelation of Christ ? So many questions haha
