Is The Bible True William Placher Summary

William C. Placher claims in his article “Is the Bible True?” that “acknowledging complexity is a way not of hedging commitment to the Bible’s truth but of fully attending to the complex ways in which the Bible is true” (paragraph 3, p.1). This thesis leads the reader throughout the article and includes the author’s answer that the Bible is true but that it is more a question of trust and the different situations and interpretations the reader makes. Placher is trying to convince the reader that the Bible is true in its own way. Not all the actions and stories may be told accurately, but that it is depending on the different genres and morals on how one is to interpret the single parts.
