Assuming contradiction rather than seeking harmony in ancient texts shows hubris

Mike critiques the tendency to declare contradictions rather than seeking to understand how passages fit together.

Mike argues there is hubris in concluding contradiction in ancient texts rather than seeking nuanced understanding. He compares this to claims that Genesis 1 and Genesis 2 contradict each other -- the apparent differences serve a purpose that should be discovered. Any view other than the utter silence view eliminates the alleged contradiction with 1 Corinthians 11:5.
