The presence of the Spirit will, I think, mainly be known as we act on the biblical texts. - Lachian We, modern Evangelicals, tend to think that meaning is intrinsic in the text. We treat the text as a deposit of residual facts that refer to something in the past. Our goal as interpreters is to uncover that meaning and then transport it to the future. If language does more than refer, then we must try to see what a text is doing, not merely saying. We tend to read the texts with thousands of layers of theology. - Scoatch
