  • My belief is that scripture is 'GOD Breathed' ... which would make it very right-brained.

    Western Society (not individuals) is predominantly left-brained .... consider education system, infrastructure, government etc.

    Personally, Miller 'speaks to me' both in his books and in his public appearances. That is a personal preference.

    Let's focus on the bottom line - love GOD above all things and love thy neighbour .... all the rest is padding ;)

    Blessings!

  • you can tell he's a writer. he can't communicate without moving his hand all sorta ways. :-) i love his books - thanks for posting.

  • Dominant according to whom? What literary approach? Where is he getting these assumptions? The Bible is not going to be ignored by this culture because of a preferential left/right brain tendency.

  • Absolutely his statement, in that sound bite, is too restrictive. Nothing (nor anyone) is purely left or right brain. I believe he also said "dominant". He also talks about culture being driven by left brain. I understand him to say that the literary approach of the Bible is likely to NOT be picked up by this culture. Peace.

  • In addition, it's folly to say our culture is just "left brain." A lot of people see no use in getting into details and nuances over philosophical or theological issues.

  • Scripture cannot be just "right brain" because it also deals with proposition and exposition of the meta-narrative. (e.g. Romans, Galatians, etc) Miller here as most other Emergent types are being unjustifiably reactionary in his assertion.

  • If I'm not mistaken, I think your statement just attempted to reduce the reductionist ... I would love to hear your take on how you see it over your take on how he sees it. Peace.

  • I don't believe he mocks God. I sense his love for Christ in every word he says. And I greatly prefer his calm sincerity to those men on evangelical networks who run up and down the stage, scream and cry, and say things in "tongues" that mean absolutely nothing to me.

  • Miller is being extremely reductionistic by saying that this culture is "left-brain" and that Scripture is "right-brain."

  • but human beings are sloppy and we do complicate life. into that, God speaks throught Scripture and engages the sloppinesss and complications. nothing about the lives of predominant Biblioal characters in need of redemption was anything but sloppy and complicated. miller reminds us of that. i give him a "way to go!"
