I don't see an way back to a pre-biblical mindset. And the scriptures interpreted by the spirit have most certainly been a creative agent in history. Look at Martin Luther or George Fox or Charles Wesley, or Joseph Smith, just a few of the thousands of historical figures moved by the spirit and the Bible.
