propositionalist theology moves you not toward indwelling the biblical story, but rather toward pulling out of the biblical story various kinds of 'timeless truths.' What this does is codify the Scriptures in such a way that people actually don't need to read the Bible because they already know what it says.
I think some people avoid reading the Bible for them themselves, for fear fo missunderstandign it and saying / thinking somthing that goes against the common wisdom of what the bible means.
For instance in the Salvation Army, reading the Bible would lead you to think that Baptisim and comunion were good and important things. And yet good slavationists know better.
