I agree. Donald Bloesh has written a volume on methodology in theology
towards a Theology of Word and Spirit (IVP). I think it is a good
argument for Word and Spirit. He dialogs with some of Torrance's
material in the process. Bloesh argues that without a view toward
Word and Spirit the Bible becomes a symblol that has lost its power.
