The Enlightenment belief in thoroughly objective knowledge made an idol out of unaided human reason. How shall we respond to this cultural crisis of truth? In this perspective, the gospel appears as God, sin, Christ, faith. We do not believe that in best practice these two ways of reading the Bible are at all contradictory, even though today, many pit them against each other.
