This essay asks whether the Bibleâs authority is a matter of (propositional) content as well as (poetic) form. It extends Martha Nussbaumâs work on the importance of literature for ethics by examining the effect of the âancient quarrelâ between philosophers and poets on the relationship of biblical literature to theology. Biblical authority involves not only revealed information but also large-scale patterns of information processing, like narrative, a cognitive strategy for grasping meaningful wholes. Scriptureâs literary forms perform a pedagogical function, helping disciples to make right judgments about the theodrama, and hence serve as a means of sapiential formation.
