It's All About the Story

I've been reading some N.T. Wright lately, and he has reminded me that there are no such things as "bare facts".  There is no "neutral" vantage point from which to view reality, and there is no way to have any significant understanding of a fact until you grasp how it fits into its larger context.  Try giving a description of anything or any event without reference to its larger story and you will not be left with much.  So if you want to rightly understand anything, you must rightly understand its story first.  I plan to follow up the implications of this truth in the next few entries.

Matt, N.T. Wright is an extremely dangerous writer.  You should really have your pastor explain to you why you should burn all his books.

Hey, PS, that reminds me... thanks for recommending all those Tom Wright books.  They've been wonderful.
