“the success of biblical interpretation depends a great deal on whether we want to listen to God or merely tell him what he ought to say. For it is only by listening to God - to what he says in all of Scripture, and through all avenues by which he might speak, such as the voices of the Spirit and of creation -that we can finally arrive at the best understanding of how the Spirit is directing us to love God and our neighbor.”
