THEOLOGY OF, BY AND FOR THE PEOPLE
Banks, Robert, J.
Fuller Theological Seminary, 1989
14 pages

Banks asserts from the start that “the people of God” must be the “main reference point” for biblical interpretation and exposition. The Bible is essentially a people’s book and not merely a book for religious professionals or learned scholars. Therefore, the church’s applications of God’s Word to everyday life, its efforts to educate and its communal agenda must be decided or made with the help of the layperson. The goal is not to usurp the pastor’s role, but rather the pastor’s role should be to serve and assist the layperson.
