| Summary: | "Canonical coherence" is necessary for reading, hearing and interpreting any text. It is not only something for which a theological interpreter of Scripture should aim, but also something that every interpreter of Scripture assumes. Irenaeus recognized that sources function as canons authorizing diverse readings. This essay assumes the truth of his Source and reads it against other sources by which biblical scholars and theologians interpret Scripture. It uses Hebrews 4: 14-16 to examine the "Source" found in Gnostic, anti-Platonic and Apocalyptic orderings of the Bible. |
