I realized after writing the previous post that reference to a more familiar medium of communication might be more apt to the point I was making. TV shows in the present day almost always have more than one writer involved. Devoted fans watch shows repeatedly and discuss the coherence of the evolving narrative, apparent discrepancies and contradictions, and much else. Perhaps that is the standard to which those who claim to take the Bible seriously in our time ought to be held.
If you claim to esteem the Bible, then you will be expected to pore over it with the sort of detailed analysis LOST fans give to that show. Otherwise, your claim to be a “fan” of the Bible should not be taken seriously.
