Not to speak for George, but probably a more accurate rephrasing of his
last sentence would be "... refusal to give serious consideration to the
possibility that any but a few easily recognized parts of the Bible
(those that are blatantly not historical chronicle like Psalms,
Revelation, etc.) could contain other types of literature."
With that clarification, I agree with George's criticism of the attitude
toward the Bible taken by most concordist efforts. We need to let the
Bible speak to us according to the purpose and style of the inspired
authors (as best we can determine it), not according to our human
standards of what we think the Bible ought to be.
