What does it mean to remain faithful to the Bible but also have a moral imagination that might extend beyond the Bible? How can that be done? We talk with Jonathan Walton about how he connects those dots and why he feels it’s the way to remain faithful to the Bible.

Thanks to Jonathan and BFNP for this interview. Just some thoughts that occurred to me after listening... If you start with love - if love, compassionate, connection represent your intention for life for yourself and for the world; if that is your reading of the Bible - then the Bible can open your eyes of loving-wisdom even wider. But if you start with a fear of others and a need for self protection, then the Bible can infuse you with a deepening of that fear and need. Or if you start with a sense of a bad world gone worst and in need of retribution, even revenge, then the Bible will fertilize the growth of those properties. Or if the world is just too much and you want it all to end, you'll find support for all that. In this post-modern world, you can start with any reading of the Bible of your choosing. But, like so many things in life, you get out what you put into it.
