He would probably be distressed to know I'm linking to his
post from my website, but I wanted to share this little gem. This is a great
little example of resisting the urge to systematize and seek coherence. This is
letting the text speak and letting your doctrine be formed by the text. This is
the right way to read Scripture. When we try to create systems what we end up
with is reductionist frameworks that in some way diminish the fullness of the
text and because we reduce its scope, we ultimately distort it.
