“Too often when a person's experience and the standard interpretation of Scripture don't add up we immediately blame the person instead of interrogating our understanding of Scripture. It is far easier to believe that someone else is wrong or does not have enough faith than it is to face the truth that it's possible that our interpretation doesn't match how reality works.”
Josh Scott, Context

Peter Enns
“Placeholder theology is the very nature of theology. By it we acknowledge the human need to say something about ultimate meaning concerning the Creator and the creation while also understanding that what we say will never say it all.”
Peter Enns, Curveball: When Your Faith Takes Turns You Never Saw Coming (or How I Stumbled and Tripped My Way to Finding a Bigger God) – A Biblical Scholar's Guide to Faith Growing Through Doubt

“The message of the eunuchs also calls us to look around and ask: Who is being excluded? Who is not welcome? Who is there no space for? [...] There is nothing to prevent them from being baptized. There is nothing to prevent them from worshipping. They don't need to change to be worthy; they are made worthy by wanting to be included. Anyone who desires the water is welcome.”
Shannon T. L. Kearns, In the Margins: A Transgender Man’s Journey with Scripture

“Beginning with the context that produced a text then allows us to ask the question we really want to ask, the question that causes us to come to the Bible in the first place: What is this saying to us, today?”
Josh Scott, Context

“Justice and worship are intertwined in John's theology. In modern terms, John is saying that worship is not something that stays within the walls of the church. In John's theology, the songs and rituals enact a worldview that results in real world-changing action. To sing these words and neither witness to God nor act for justice is a disconnect that John cannot imagine.”
Robyn J. Whitaker, Revelation for Normal People: A Guide to the Strangest and Most Dangerous Book in the Bible
