“Are we telling people to “share the gospel,” which is actually just explaining “how to be saved” and go to heaven and does not mirror at all what we find in the biblical text?”
Marty Solomon, Asking Better Questions of the Bible: A Guide for the Wounded, Wary, and Longing for More

“What this means is that we let our journey be guided by these questions: What did the author mean when they wrote it? What did the audience understand when they heard it? What is the inspired conversation”
