Quotes by Michael J. Svigel  (?)

“The Bible tells the great, true story of redemption, of a God who created a good world, watched as that world was corrupted by sin and rebellion, and is at work redeeming it on the trajectory to a new heaven and a new earth. The Bible is not a set of rules, a love letter, a book of magic words, or a science or history textbook.”
Michael J. Svigel, A Practical Primer on Theological Method: Table Manners for Discussing God, His Works, and His Ways

“Thus, the interpretation will always be finite, incomplete, and at points inaccurate. Yet Scripture must still be translated, read, studied, and interpreted. The role of the Interpreter is therefore a high and holy—as well as a sober and serious—calling.”
Michael J. Svigel, A Practical Primer on Theological Method: Table Manners for Discussing God, His Works, and His Ways

“You see, the center of Christianity has always been Jesus Christ. It is not the Bible. It is not expository preaching. It is not a personal response to the gospel message. As important as all of these are for supporting the center, the focal point of right Christian faith is God the Son who became man, lived a life of perfect righteousness, revealed the Father, died for our sins, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven, bequeathed the Spirit, and will come again.”
