The Babel of the Gospel
The gospel is the new language of a new people
Religious inspiration is not inevitably spasmatic. Neither are the ecstatic eruptions of a prophet more ethereal than the last draft of an apostle’s letter. In fact, one cannot regularly read the Bible without eventually conceding that many of its portions were very carefully crafted by their writers. This does not diminish their authority at all; it means that we must read carefully, giving attention to the words as they are given to us.
