The Gospel as Conversation

Bible Studies & Devotionals

“James Boyd White, an esteemed path-breaking scholar of classics, poetry, and law, here reflects on the Gospels as conversation, as a reciprocal invitation: Jesus reaching out to each of us, 'calling us to being,' and we each coming to the Scripture, asking what it is that Jesus is saying to us--not as rules or theological propositions, but as a challenge to engage as honestly as we can with the 'problems, uncertainties, tensions, and incompletenesses' of the Gospels. Thus, they may become fully alive in our lives.”
