Knowledge Must be
Accompanied by Faith—part 2
I
can understand a Jewish historian not having faith in the veracity of the New
Testament, but I do not understand why a writer of at least thirteen books on
music and religion would bother to spend a lifetime writing about the Hebrew
Bible when he does not consider it to be an accurate historical record let
alone the a text which was hovered over (God breathed) and inspired by the Holy
Spirit.
Certainly
his lack of trust that the Hebrew Bible is an accurate historical record by
saying that is a biased document which is full of myths bespeaks of an author
who is devoid of personal faith in God. Actually Friedmann never mentioned any
kind of personal faith in God in either of the aforementioned books. The
logical end of Bible study is understanding, respect and trust in what it
teaches. I would think that an author
who does not have personal faith in the God who hovered over His Word would
find something more productive to do than spend his time writing about musicing
unto the God that he does not love, respect and trust.
