“Scholarship is its own kind of cloak. It’s a cloak of knowledge. It doesn’t matter whether it’s philosophy, medicine, theology, or aeronautical engineering, when we’ve read all the primary literature, and all the secondary literature, and every single scholarly article on a subject, we’ve built up a pretty impressive cloak. We know all there is to know. We can think of a thousand reasons not to leap to our feet and a hundred ways to deconstruct Jesus’ call. But where does that get us in facing Jesus’ question, “What do you want me to do for you?” The answer isn’t in a book. What are we going to say? “Make me a bigger library?””—
Sam Wells, Be Not Afraid
He has told you, O man, what is good;
and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
and to walk humbly with your God. -Micah 6v8
