As always, good stuff, John! In case you haven’t read it, I recommend “Colossians Remixed–Subverting the Empire” by Brian Walsh and Sylvia Keesmaat. It touches on some of the same themes.

terry,

You nailed it–since the Reformation and *sola scriptura* we have seen Christianity become a Book-centered faith rather than a Person-centered faith. Thanks for the good comments.

At our home we receive the monthly snail-mail newsletter of a prominent evangelical Pastor. Each month my wife Midhele and I comb the multi-page newsletter for anything about Jesus Christ.

Seldom is there *any* mention of Him, to our monthly amazement.

But the newsletter is *strong* on The Word, The Word, The Word, The Bible, The Word, The Bible.

Now, I LOVE the Word of God, and hold to its innerancy in the original. But as Jesus said to the Pharisees…

“You search the Scriptures because you think that in them you have eternal life; it is these that testify about Me;” (John 5:39)

If we’re not seeking and getting to know *Him* better, our theological accuracy (or or arrogance about it) are not the Shekinah we think they are, but just a fog blinding us and those we teach.

Thanks, John.
