Greetings to all the B-greeker friends with best wishes for a great 98!
Last September's CHRISTIANITY TODAY had a thought-provoking article on
Cyberspace by Douglas Groothuis of Denver Seminary. He comments on the
danger than cyberexegesis may lead some to use the Bible •n a manner that
"divorces Scripture from its literary genre and contextal meaning. I can
run a program that gives me a host of texts on say *righteosness*, but the
program cannot present the meaning of each text in its context"
ìs there a real danger that computer use can foment either proof-texting or
the kind of word-study exegesis that James Barr attacked? How can this be
avoided?
