" but again, that's all bound together by interpretation."
Kind of the point, IMO. I have a friend who's big in to New Age theology, etc....and my biggest reservation about it is that when he goes to wrestle with those ideas, there is a very limited number of sources beyond the one man who originated the brand of New-Agism that he's reading about. When i stuggle with an idea in the bible, i can read the thoughts of some of the greatest thinkers ever to live-Aquinas, Barth, Tillich, Luther....And none of these brilliant people would have been argueing and flexing their mental muscle if the Bible wasn't so darn complex.
So instead of seeing the conflicts and challenges as limitations to the Christian world view, i see them as one of the most creative gifts God has given the church.
