Grant R. Osborne Quote

Indeed, the Bible has been cast adrift from its moorings and left to float on a sea of modern relativity. The play of meanings in the stories is seen to be open-ended, and modern readers must construct their own interpretation. Rhoads and Michie thus call Mark a literary creation with an autonomous integrity existing independently from any resemblance to the actual person and life of Jesus. It is a closed and self-sufficient world, and its portrayals, rather than being a representation of historical events, refer to people, places and events in the story (1982:3-4).21
