Theopneustos: God’s Breath in Scripture

Paul’s letter to Timothy emphasizes the transformative power of scripture for teaching, reproof, correcting, and training in righteousness. This aligns with the idea of the Bible as a living, active force, not merely a collection of inerrant facts and stories. In Hebrew thought, “breath” is synonymous with “spirit” and represents the animating force of life.
