Thought-provoking Quotations

  • "Think About It" quotation from the latest Berea Page: ​“History is never a mere collection of facts but an exercise in interpretation. Our earliest and best sources for knowing about Jesus are already an interpretation; there is no way they could not be. Even the people who knew and first talked about him to others were interpreting him; they could not have talked about him otherwise. But this does not mean there is no difference between good history and bad history, or that one interpretation is as good as another.” ~ Richard Bauckham. 2011. Jesus: A Very Short Introduction. Oxford University Press, 6
  • "Additional Thoughts on James" quotation from the latest Opening the Scriptures: ​“While we need to be careful not to read the modern Western family into the ancient family, … there is a sense of belonging expressed in this designation of God [James 1.17]. God is not an ‘impersonal force’ behind the universe; rather, he is the Father, whose family includes the followers of Jesus, even if the father in a Mediterranean culture was known more for being the source of identity, authority, and provision than for intimacy (with either his wife or his children). James underlines the authority of this Father by using the term ‘God’ or ‘Lord’ with the term ‘Father.’ It is clear that this Father is very much head of the family and Lord of the universe.” ~ Peter H. Davids. 2014. A Theology of James, Peter, and Jude. Biblical Theology of the New Testament. ed. Andreas J. Köstenberger, ed. Zondervan, 72​
