AB - Reformation began with the power of biblical interpretation. Our church maintains its status quo through biblical interpretation. Now it is time to reevaluate our biblical interpretation in its legitimacy by biblical theological thoughts. Among the Old Testament literature that was mostly composed and preserved by the ruling elites, reading Tetrateuch, the Deuteronomistic history, and the book of Amos with regard to the use of power, tells that they did not sanction unconditionally the power of those ruling elites but conversely function to review it in light of justice, life, peace. The Old Testament puts the ultimate value on justice, life, and peace. The use of power can be legitimized only when one seeks such values. That is what the life of Jesus had shown to us. If biblical interpreters of our church only pursue these values in wielding power, it will lead our church to get out of current state of crisis.
