I know that you mentioned Psalm 2, but I would also like to see the history of any idea put forth that devalued certain parts of scripture. From whence did this arise? Nowhere in the NT do I see a trace of this. Scripture is cited again and again as breathed out by the Holy Spirit of God. Nowhere is it dismissed so, or warned against.

Did the Church Fathers ever call some portion natural, and fallen, and only worthwhile as an example of interpolating self into God's revelation? Did anyone in subsequent history make this kind of assessment? I know that there was some discussion about canonicity of certain books for centuries, and the Post-Reformation church, 1500 years after Christ, essentially pushed them off the table. There was Luther's famous remark on James' epistle, for example. But WL's treatment of Psalms is unique that I can tell. I think his "God's economy" metric moved him into uncharted and dangerous waters in biblical exegesis.

But that may be out of the scope of your study.
