Vanhoozer wonders whether he has found a point at which evangelicals can reach somewhat of a rapprochement with Karl Barth, after decades of trench warfare:
...evangelicals and Barth can agree, at the very least, that the Bible is a central ingredient in the economy of God's self-communication. As to ontology, Scripture is divine-human communicative action: the Bible has its being in its locutions and illocutions, yet the Bible becomes what it is when the illuminating Spirit ministers those locutions and illocutions in order to bring about the divinely intended perlocutionary effects. 'A Person of the Book? Barth on Biblical Authority and Interpretation' in Karl Barth and Evangelical Theology p. 59
