A profound, thoughtful, and challenging essay regarding the multi-vocality of the Jewish and Christian scriptures. Any Christian tradition - Orthodox, Catholic, Protestant, Evangelical - can benefit from the scholarship and arguments put forth here.
My interpretation of the argument put forth in the essay is that multi-vocality is inherent within scripture, and thus argues that the allegorical interpretations (edifying as they may be), the absurd harmonizations that render theological language equivocal, and the gatekeeper terminologies of "infallibility" and "inerrancy" are unnecessary at best, harmful at worst.
This multi-vocality isn't a bug, it's a feature. This multi-vocality should be permitted to be what it is.
