"Ardel Caneday shows that Grenz and Franke view Scripture as functional over
against propositional. In so doing, the postconservatives have bought into a false
disjunction. The locus of God's revelation and authority is not to be found in the
text of Scripture, they argue, but rather in the Spirit's appropriation of Scripture for
the contemporary community of believers. Over against Grenz and Franke's
adaptation of Lindbeck's cultur ..."
