Answer: THE BIBLE
David Lose has written an excellent article for the religion section of the Huffingtion Post. Two of my favorite quotes from the article are these:
“We tend to think of anything that is labeled “conservative” as being older and more traditional. Oddly enough, however, the doctrine of inerrancy that literalists aim to conserve is only about a century and a half old.”
AND
’Flattening the biblical witness to conform to a reductionist understanding of truth only limits the power of Scripture. As Karl Barth, arguably the twentieth century’s greatest theologian, once said, “I take the Bible too seriously to read it literally.” ‘
