I like this essay! I also appreciate how faith-shattering it can be when changing from thinking the Bible is an inerrant, uniform divine revelation to seeing it as errant and pluriform. Things look different, however, if we think an uncontrolling God exists and communicates. From that perspective, the pluriformity of the texts would be expected, including diverse perspectives on the divine. The text also becomes evidence that different people in differing places and times thought God interacts with them. That can’t be dismissed easily. If true, the Bible goes from being a proof text about what God is like to evidence that widely diverse people believe they interact with God. Of course, they all could be wrong. But the evidence of this alleged interaction must be taken into account when pondering the possible reality of the divine.
