“Sweating bullets to line up the Bible with our exhausting expectations, to make the Bible something itâ€™s not meant to be, isnâ€™t a pious act of faith, even if it looks that way on the surface. Itâ€™s actually thinly masked fear of losing control and certainty, a mirror of an inner disquiet, a warning signal that deep down we do not really trust God at all.”
-- Peter Enns
