It is a proclamation of the Good News of the Gospel in which exegetical concerns are important but not necessary to making the broader point. It's a different type of writing for a different audience, which is willing to ignore those pharisaical voices who get consumed by the details. Those who fail to connect simply don't understand what Bell is trying to do; they fail to recognize different types of forms of communication, and think that he misses the mark when he doesn't communicate as they do.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
