Ideally a symphony... but that requires a conductor, doesn't it? <br /><br />What I'm saying is I'd love to see many more become adept at wielding that conductor's baton in historical ways (not just theological ways). <br /><br />But you knew that about me. ;-)<br /><br />Thanks for the input. :-)Bill Heromanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05283809456471966882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12543231.post-67246449521238100192010-06-08T21:41:46.562-05:002010-06-08T21:41:46.562-05:00These are great thoughts.

Witnesses to a crime emphasize different aspects and focus on different details, but all the different versions build the overall witness. Maybe that example breaks down at certain points, but all metaphors and examples eventually do.<br /><br />For me the concept of canon is important (and obviously it is for you too). The 4 gospels are all different instruments sounding forth in the larger symphony that is the NT canon. <br /><br />Good thoughts, fun post.mike foxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04820630954659336880noreply@blogger.com
