stock answers are not prescribed. There is no verse-by-verse correspondence between, say, Psalm 19 and Genesis 19. The editorial arrangement does not give us a phrase book of rote answers. What we have, rather, is an immersion in language adequate to the dialogue. We acquire facility in personal language that is accurately responsive out of our changing lives and growing levels of faith to what God speaks to us in Scripture and in Christ. We need a vocabulary and syntax sufficiently personal and adequately wide ranging to answer everything that God says.
