Reading it ourselves

Paul at Caught in the Middle looks at what happens when preachers "challenge the symbols of the faith." He gives examples both from Jesus' ministry and from his own. What does he find?

It was their firmly-held traditional interpretations of the Old Testament that prevented most in Jesus' day from seeing him as the one God had been promising sent to set the world aright.
