Quotes by Rubel Shelly (?)

“Heard as a moralist’s diatribe, the Sermon on the Mount is an impossible-to-bear judgment. Read as a series of mandates for Jesus’ disciples, it is an impossible-to-attain standard. Heard as heaven’s dream for the creatures made in God’s own image, however, the sermon becomes an impossible-to-wait-for world of Eden restored. Read as the Heavenly Father’s reality in which we participate as his children by being transformed into the likeness of the one Perfect Son, it is our new-creation identity dawning on us and forming in our daily life habits. This is a righteousness that both fulfills the Law and the Prophets and exceeds that of the scribes and Pharisees.”

“Holy Scripture is progressive revelation—from partial to full, but never from error to truth.”

“It is this fulfillment motif that is so critical to interpreting not only the Sermon on the Mount but the larger role of Jesus in the drama of Holy Scripture.”
