Article: The Rhetorical Utility of the Word ‘Biblical’
You hear it in nearly every theological debate: “This is the Biblical approach.” But how do we define what’s Biblical and what’s not? The author shows how it’s a word with a squishy definition, and therefore, can be easily abused.
Though this rhetoric is persuasive and effective
to gain points in a debate or generate support for your views,
it has tremendous consequences. I want to offer my primary concerns with the use of this rhetorical move to serve as an admonition against the misuse of the word ‘biblical’.It sows division.
