    i quoted Richard Rohr last night.  he’s done more to inform my view of the Narrative of God than anyone else at this stage of my journey.  Check this out - and let’s dialogue about it’s value (or lack of value) as a lens for scripture.

    “(The Central Positive Theme of the Bible) is the Divine Unmerited Generosity (or grace) that is everywhere available, totally given, usually undetected as such, and often even undesired . . . people who have not experienced the radical character of grace will always misinterpret the meanings and the direction of the Bible.  The Bible will become a burden and obligation more than a gift.” Richard Rohr in Things Hidden
