I think you mistake me. I am rather interested in the Bible. What I said, for example, was that if WL uses a term or concept to push off something I like, then I'll look askance at the teaching. Not at the Bible.
So if WL used Paul's 'oikonomia' to push off the Psalms, even when the same writing by Paul recommended the Psalms, then I'll be leery of WL's explication of Paul. Not of Paul's work itself. And I'm not afraid of the work 'oikonomia''; in fact I noted its use by Jesus, for example, in the gospel of Luke. I didn't use my distaste for WL's explanation as an excuse to avoid the Bible.
Do you see the difference? WL's work looks increasingly weak, the more I examine it. But the Bible remains.
