“[Wise souls are] aware that the texts of Scripture, on the one hand, and the interpretive process, on the other, are not the same thing. They recognize that Christians fiercely committed to Christ, Scripture and truth, frequently do differ. They acknowledge that anyone’s interpretation of a text or an issue at any given moment may turn out to be quite wrong. They understand therefore that humility and charity are called for when engaging in theological and moral argument.” — David P. Gushee [1]
