It's been a big buzzword in churches and faith scholarship for quite a few years now, i.e. "unpacking the scriptures." The implication being that everything one needs can be found within, and there are no flaws, but it may nonetheless appear confusing or contradictory until it is taken apart and fully examined from every angle. It's not that they're out-of-date or irrelevant, they're just packed up in a certain way we're not used to.
