37. The zeal and ingenuity of conservative evangelical scholars in dismantling the miracles and exploding the scriptures of non-Christian and extra-biblical traditions is worthy of the most skeptical gospel critic. See Benjamin Breckenridge Warfield, Counterfeit Miracles (London: Banner of Truth Trust, 1972); George W. Peters, Indonesia Revival: Focus on Timor (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1973), Chapter 4, “The Miracle Phenomena of the Revival,” pp. 57-85; Yamauchi, Jesus, Zoroaster, Socrates, Buddha, Muhammad; Gordon Fraser, What Does the Book of Mormon Teach? (Chicago: Moody Press, 1964). One exception might be John Warwick Montgomery, Principalities and Powers, where against the modern anti-supernaturalist bias, Montgomery defends not only the biblical miracles but also other phenomena including leprechauns, werewolves, and alchemy. He comes closer than anyone else to arguing that legends are impossible.

26. Does Paul Jewett of Fuller Seminary violate my canon criterion for Evangelicalism in his book Man as Male and Female (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1975)? He invited much criticism for rejecting Pauline statements on women in favor of what he considered to be the chief Pauline thrust on the question– Galatians 3:28. Jewett has claimed that instead of “breaking the analogy of scripture” himself, it was Paul who broke it with his subordinationist statements. I believe that what Jewett is doing is subtly but significantly different from Käsemann’s “canon-within-the-canon.” Instead of rejecting one New Testament writer altogether, Jewett intends to bracket some statements of a writer (Paul) which are not consistent with the writer’s own main theme. Thus to be able to speak of Paul’s New Testament witness at all, one must in this case employ “Sachkritik,” or content criticism, or be left with an unconnected collection of Pauline sentences. Needless to say, the picture would change if Jewett came to consider the Pastorals (which contain the offensive texts) as deutero-Pauline.

    To approach the question from a slightly different angle, it might be said that Jewett sees the “analogy of scripture” as the “larger picture” or “general trend” of scripture. Against the general backdrop of biblical thought, one might be able to spot some minor deviant elements. To drop them in light of the larger picture would then be to preserve rather than to violate the analogy of faith. The authority of “the Bible as a whole” does not necessarily mean that every single verse is authoritative, but rather that the picture formed by biblical teaching in general is authoritative. Note the difference between this notion and that of Käsemann who doubts that there is any “general picture” at all.
