Liberal Theology

How can people be objective when their skepticism takes priority over what the author is trying to express in plain words? If they could establish the relationship between the author of Genesis and their skepticism, then I'm all ears.

In the end, the subjective approach is never objective, and a researcher's personal bias should never be treated as a valid premise in his very research. "Anyone's" beliefs and biases, particularly in this modern times where extant ancient historical records are often dismissed as mythical, are irrelevant in understanding Scripture. What is important is the writer's belief, and we can ascertain what it is by consulting records that are contemporary to the writer's lifetime. Such records are preserved by tradition, the importance of which cannot be overemphasized in the methodical investigation of biblical events.
