When you are that close to a text, its original language(s), and - TopicsExpress



          

When you are that close to a text, its original language(s), and all the trappings of its interrelated cultures, previously clear theological formulations and doctrinal commitments can easily become very messy. This caused problems for my faith but also opened up other vistas that I never imagined. On the other hand, there was a real sense of urgency in my mind each week, to consider in fresh ways the significance of these texts for the community of faith I was serving. All of this made me much more sensitive to both ancient and modern contexts. nblo.gs/12ded2
