“When I study the Bible, alone or with others, my ultimate aim is not information, but transformation. I see no reason to trouble myself or others with Scripture unless in doing so we intend to approach as closely as we dare to the numinous majesty of the living God.

“Our own hands are still defiled by our hypocrisies. And we're still hungry. The rest of the Gospel story then is the preacher's to tell: Jesus treats us—his twenty-first century disciples—in the same way he treated his first-century twelve. He still lets us eat and drink, defiled hands and all. But he does not let us (or even himself) off the hook.”
Talbert, Charles H., "James: Teaching Outlines and Selected Sermon Seeds," Review and Expositor, 2000.
