So Much Depends

by Anna Radcliffe
…“so much depends upon things that appear ordinary.” Luke 6:19-27 is a good example of this. 6:19 says, “He (Jesus) came down with them and stood on a level place.” Jesus “coming down” could be a geographical reference. But the phrase also serves as a clue, reminding us of Jesus’ true identity as the heir to God’s kingdom. Jesus, the son of God, was sent into the world to live among us. So, just as the story suggests, Jesus came down from a high pl…

…for neighbor. Their recommended action steps similarly find their roots in examples and commands from the Bible. Because I have read a variety of other books on racial justice assigned by my secular graduate school, leaving me to wrestle alone with how the content fit into the truth of scripture, I found the authors’ transparent inclusion of their own understanding of faithful antiracism both refreshing and stimulating. “…the authors’ purpose (for…

What Kind of Bread?

by Kara Lepley
…eatly confused about what Jesus was trying to do here – but, the confusion comes only partly from what Jesus’ response is. The rest of the confusion comes from the question itself – “Rabbi, when did you get here?” Now, let’s begin by saying that there is nothing wrong with this question. It’s simple curiosity on the part of the disciples, because Jesus did not travel with them and then suddenly appears in the same place that they are in. I think t…

…thinks, “we tell ourselves stories” (195). Hawley pulls no punches when it comes to the media, particularly the conservative media, but his criticisms apply across the board. Character Bill Cunningham—an acerbic nod to Bill O’Reilly and the Fox News network—believes that people don’t want just the facts, ma’am; they want them interpreted. And he shoulders the role of commentator with a deceitful ferocity that has the reader begging Scott to take h…

On one level, I can appreciate Trueman’s call for opposition to what June has come to stand for; however, I’ve also seen many people using the month to rally together against the perceived oppression of religion, and I do wonder if this month is the time and place to play into a caricature foisted upon Christians.

Healing Hearts and Hurts

by Valorie Zonnefeld
…Jesus perceives the evil thoughts of the teachers of the law and directly questions if it’s easier to forgive sin or heal. Almost as an afterthought, Jesus follows this statement by healing the paralytic with the simple words “Get up, take your mat and go home”. The focus that I missed as a child, is Jesus’ power over sin. The healing was merely a physical demonstration of Jesus’ power for the nay-sayers present. Part of the reason I’m drawn to t…
