Branching out in my commentary readings
Beginning a long and fruitful journey through Romans, and this paragraph was nice, i won't share all highlights with you guys, but sometimes, just to give some proof that i'm not wasting time reading Proust or Homer :P So initially i'll be doing Romans to Revelation with 2 series the ESV Expository and the NIVAC, good times, ... so eventually i'll have a bunch of commentary sources i'll be reading from, the commentary mix you could call it, as it is thee hugest most time consuming thing or genre i plan to read, after posting this i might decide to throw in a few of the inexpensive commentaries for this chunk of inspired writ, and when i get everything settled in my routine i'll clue y'all in, not because i think anyone cares, but that i'm being facetious here and is a special brand of humor that died with the 90's culturally, but is still alive and well in my heart.
[quote]"Know the text. Since Romans contains so much theology, and since expositors are generally endowed with a theology of their own, it is tempting to use Romans to support the preacher’s outlook more than to distill and present its message. Disciplined study and the humility to learn can result in the proclamation of Christ rather than preachers’ preformed convictions. Incidentally, congregational boredom with a months-long exposition of Romans can be caused by preachers using Romans to rehearse the same well-known outlook that their churches hear every other week from every other portion of the Bible. Careful study of Romans in its historical, theological, and canonical contexts should always yield fresh perspective on even timeworn doctrines and commands."
