• Meaning Of Life (Ecclesiastes)

  
  The Agora Singapore — Authority: 103
  The major hermeneutical difficulty of Ecclesiastes is to understand its apparent internal contradictions. At times, Qoheleth seemed to be pessimistic or gloomy about everything in life (“All is vanity!”) while at other times, he admonished readers to enjoy their labor, eat well, live joyfully with one’s wife and ...

  The Wittenberg Door — Authority: 422
  From Time magazine . . . HERE IS ONE OF PROTHEROS FAVORITE stories of Bible ignorance.

• Exegesis # 4 - Critiquing Biblical Criticism

  
  The Rebel God — Authority: 111
  Youve no doubt heard the stories of how people lose their faith in seminary. Im pretty sure I know why people make this complaint.

• Textual consequences of a moral influence atonement

  
  Castle of Nutshells — Authority: 106
  I was thinking about the consequences of moral influence theories of atonement. Readers probably are aware of my appreciation of Rene Girard’s version of this theory.

• “Exegesis is an act of sustained humility” by Eugene Peterson

  
  Tolle Lege — Authority: 421
  “Exegesis does not mean mastering the text, it means submitting to it as it is given to us. Exegesis doesn’t take charge of the text and impose superior knowledge on it; it enters the world of the text and lets the text ‘read’ us. Exegesis is an act of sustained humility.” –Eugene Peterson,  Eat This ...

• “Exegesis is an act of love” by Eugene Peterson

  
  Tolle Lege — Authority: 421
  “Too many Bible readers assume that exegesis is what you do after you have learned Greek and Hebrew. That’s simply not true. Exegesis is nothing more than a careful and loving reading of the text in our mother tongue. Greek and Hebrew are well worth learning, but if you haven’t had the privilege, settle for ...

• “Eat this book” by Eugene Peterson

  
  Tolle Lege — Authority: 421
  “We are fond of saying that the Bible has all the answers. And that is certainly correct. The text of the Bible sets us in a reality that is congruent with who we are as created beings in God’s image and what we are destined for in the purposes of Christ. But the Bible also has all the questions, many of them that ...

  Heres a little story that must be told, and it goes a little something like this: When I was in that sacred stage of human development known as adolescence, rap opened my eyes to just how words could be used. I was on the verge of tearing my everything out in fits of angsty, pre-teen rage, when I realized that what I ...
