Bible as Conversation

Daniel has an interesting post on E-Merging suggesting that we view the Bible as a conversation. He says:

In real conversations, one participant doesn’t just sit back and agree with everything being said. There are tensions and resolutions, and some questions are simply left unanswered.

I think this is an excellent approach to Bible study and is quite compatible with my notion of participatory Bible study, in which you get into, participate in, the story of God’s interaction with people.
