Conversion is a matter of the heart, not of the academy; polemics function more to “speak to the choir” and shore up internal unity rather than to facilitate understanding, let alone to show love of neighbor. Biblical studies, as we understand it, can rather help us better to understand each other, and to move forward in appreciating the Bible’s power and importance.
BECAUSE 2 Timothy 3:16 states that “all scripture [the reference was initially to the scriptures of Israel, since there was no “New Testament” at the time 2 Timothy was written] is inspired by God [or “God-breathed”],” the idea developed in Christian circles that all biblical passages are replete with meaning. More, the corollary was that because the text is inspired, it cannot have contradictions: it is “inerrant,” containing no error or faults. Jews traditionally have taken the same approach: scripture is divine; it contains revelation.
The Bible itself is less important in Judaism than the Bible interpreted.
