Humility Needed
I appreciate Dan’s scholarship, especially when he corrects gross misrepresentations of Scripture. However, I have noticed a growing lack of academic humility in his work. He is certainly entitled to his opinion about the univocality of the Bible. However, I don’t see him own his own hermeneutic, much less say in a scholarly way that he has a hermeneutic or philosophy of the Bible, which is decidedly postmodern and deconstructionist. A scholarly argument can be made that the Bible is a book of faith despite the lack of univocality. What is more disturbing to me is the culture he has cultivated in his followers. In a recent video, a follower asked a good question in response to the video. She was attacked and mocked for asking the question. True, Dan can’t control the behavior of his listeners. However, he has attracted people that attack others who have different points of view. It’s a different kind of fundamentalism and it’s not helpful. It would be helpful for him to address this, and concede that there is a wider spectrum of thought that is scholarly and viable. Until then, the trajectory of this podcast seems to create an environment of ridicule rather than scholarly intrigue. It’s ugly, in a world of ugliness.
