My belief is not so much about what the Bible can handle, as I think God can handle anything, but it seems to me that this theory is more about changing the Bible and putting our presuppositions in a place where we are not open to what the scripture says itself. The Bible does have to be understood in our culture and interpretation and understanding is work, but I have always believed the Bible should change us and give us understanding (it reads us) than it should be about us trying to fix our misunderstandings of the Bible based on our own biases.
