Learning from Bible teaching

I highly recommend Stephen Webster's list of 10 things he's learned in 10 years of Bible teaching. Here's one:

Humility
I am fond of telling my students that, regarding certain issues, if we lined up 12 leading evangelical Bible scholars and asked them to give an opinion, four would say “yes”, four would say, “no” and the remaining four would say, “I don’t know.” This can only prompt us to be gracious when it comes to matters of conscience or areas of ecclesiastical disagreement.

Amen.
