"The traditional use of Ps 104 on the Day of Pentecost serves to remind us that God’s creation of the church continues the story of God’s crea- tion of the world. It is a love story; it is still unfolding; and we are part of it."

"We should not overlook the power of the idea of the resurrection of groups of people. There may well be groups who need this message of hope."

Abstract: "The history of the interpretation of Ezekiel’s vision of the dry bones (Ezek 37:1-14) reveals that while this passage is a metaphor for Israel’s exile and restoration, it has also served as the source text for Jewish and Christian reflection on the resurrection of the dead. That the same passage can be read in both ways has implications for the way all of Scripture can be read. In the Talmud, Rabbi Judah calls Ezekiel’s vision ‘emeth mashal: a true metaphor. This is an apt image for the entire Bible, as a text both historically specific and theologically multivalent."

"The Spirit of God is being poured out on ALL flesh. Uncontainable tongues of fire—God is doing a new thing. Will we be part of it?"

"Acts narrates the intrusion of the gospel into the myriad populations of antiquity, A number of cultural boundaries are crossed, but at no point in Acts does Luke narrate the cessation of ethnic difference. Instead, the text invites us to enter a world in which ethnic difference and faithful unity coexist."
