What I might suggest is that no text of Scripture has been truly expounded if the gospel has not been announced from it - i.e. preaching is more, but not less, than opening up the text.Daniel Blanchehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15525641726889468099noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30436844.post-39742118985295899362013-10-07T22:08:42.680+01:002013-10-07T22:08:42.680+01:00Amen!

All I would add is that while preaching is more than explaining the Bible, it is not less than explaining the Bible; and that in a church culture in which exposition of the text has been sidelined or forgotten, to refer to the preaching as "explaining the Bible" might be a helpful corrective. Indeed, *true* explanation of the Bible will never be *mere* explanation of the Bible.<br /><br />As Dick Lucas once said in my hearing, "People sometimes accuse evangelical Anglicans of simply trying to get the text right. Well, I don't think that's a bad idea, actually."Liam Beadlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08042044098055326555noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30436844.post-34279018253288292432013-10-07T20:42:24.265+01:002013-10-07T20:42:24.265+01:00Yes, yes, yes.
