It is important to state clearly that the biblical past cannot be and should not always be the norm for the present. After all, the Bible supports or condones institutions and practices that neither society today nor the church would condone (slavery is a good example). The Bible is not a socially perfect document; it does not always support modern views that should be supported. The question is how to explore what the Bible says about God in a manner that recognizes this gap between our present and the biblical past and also discerns a disclosure of the biblical God that can speak to us today and perhaps even inspire us.--Mark S. Smith, How Human Is God?, pp. 55-56
