Through the Bible “we meet Jesus Christ, God’s greatest act.” And through the Bible “God calls us to be involved in his current mighty act, the church.” God uses the Bible “as a means of bringing us his message and his call. Emil Brunner’s famous figure is worth recalling. Is the Bible God’s Word? Remember, says Brunner, the famous trademark of the Victor Record Company. In it a dog sits listening to the horn-like speaker of a Victrola.
Beneath is the caption, ‘His master’s voice.’ The Bible is an ancient book, rather badly out of date, it seams, as to its science, and written in a strange language expressed through stranger cultural patterns. But a few scratches on the record do not keep the dog from recognizing who is speaking on the Victrola.” And the person who listens in faith to the biblical story will recognize the “Master’s Voice.” From “God confronts man” in the study helps for the Covenant Life Curriculum by Bill Ramsay.
