Last night was the last class with Yarbrough. I feel a greater love for the truth and power of the Word almost every time I leave the class. Here is a sample from an answer to a student question (not a perfect transcription):
“The idea ‘I just can’t accept the Bible as true is’ the most traditional thing you could possibly say. Even in books that evangelical publishers publish they make it sound like it is this difficult and noble thing that they don't believe the Bible like they used to. So what? Welcome to the mainstream world! What is difficult is to wrestle and understand the Bible in a way that puts you in the stream of tradition of the believing community, a community that that lived and died for the glory of God by believing in his word and thoughtfully engaging with it for the good of those around them.”
