“Two profound yet incompatible moral imaginations confront
each other in the attempt to address Job's experience of turmoil That of the
friends is grounded in a deep sense of the moral nature of creation. Job's
moral imagination takes shape through an act of witness that attempts to create
a community of answerability before God.”

“Repentance of the individual is only one nourishing stream,
a kind of tributary in a deep, wide river of the biblical tradition. What would
repentance look like if Christians in the United States began to think of
ourselves as called to compassionate engagement with all of God's people?”
Wadell, Paul J., "Living by the Word: Mark 10:17-31, Hebrews 4:12-16," The Christian Century, 2009.
