"Most of us hold the view of Christian faith we do because of a small handful of favourite texts. This small handful of texts becomes the lens through which everything is understood. Our goal as serious students of scripture should be to increase our grasp of the overarching biblical story by constantly expanding our familiarity with the bible. Many people reach adulthood with perspectives that have been dictated by theologies derived from a small group of biblical texts"
