Sunday Morning Sermon: Richard Rohr on the Most Diminished Way to View the Bible

I’ve serious problems with very modern theologians who view all of scripture literally. My problem is that the Bible is not so simple of a book, and to understand it literally is to simplify it. It’s a con game for people who don’t like the fact they can’t understand it all. Richard Rohr asks, “What if the Bible is authoritative and alive and transformative but not full of simple thoughts that are easy to categorize?” Essentially he’s asking, “Does the Bible have authority and it controls me, or I have authority and I control it?”

Good thoughts for a Sunday morning.
