"IF CHRIST HAD PRACTICED THE KIND OF LOVE WE ADVOCATE NOWADAYS, HE WOULD HAVE LIVED TO A RIPE OLD AGE. We've come to view love as being nice. Forgiving and forgetting. Yielding to the desires of others. Yet the kind of love modeled by Jesus Christ has nothing to do with manners or unconditional acceptance. Rather, it is shrewd. Disruptive. Courageous. And, as a result, socially unacceptable. In Bold Love, Dr. Dan Allender and Dr. T ..."

"Here we have an explicit genre signal that invokes a reading strategy
significantly different from the one we adopted for the 2 Kings 17 passage. Jesus'
story is fictional. More specifically, it is didactic fiction— that is, it intends to impart
a moral to the hearer or reader. A second major benefit of the study of genre is
that it provides a secondary literary context. This is summed up by Frye (1957,
247–48): The purpose of crit ..."

"The Psalms possess an enduring fascination for us. For frankness, directness, intensity and intimacy, they are unrivaled in all of Scripture.
