““Even when only partly understood, the Bible remained bigger than the niches to which it was relegated. For it requires that we be hearers of the Word, listening for what it asks us, not bringing our questions to find the Bible’s answers, but prepared to have our current questions revised or even discredited by its own. Scripture confronts its readers with another world and asks if it is not in truth their world; it confronts them with another hope than their own hopes, and thus teaches readers to ask, “What wait I for? my hope is in thee” (Ps. 39:7 KJV). In at least that sense, the Bible is the Book of a story that claims to be our real story””
