"When the integrity of biblical stories is kept intact, rather than being chopped up into sound bites as both evangelizers and mainstream preachers tend to do, it's easier to grasp that biblical truth is much less about facts than about relationships -- both within the text and between the reader and the Scripture. 'If I can get people to think of themselves as being in a relationship with Scripture,' says Roger Ferlo, a former Yale English professor who is now an Episcopal priest and author of Opening the Bible, 'then there is a chance they can recognize a relationship with God when they meet one.'" -- from "Does the Bible Tell Me So?", by Ann Monroe, Mother Jones, November/December 1997
