Performing the text (again) ::
Serendipity strikes again, no sooner had Michael Pahl blogged about my remark about my performing the text assignment (in the post about "Thinking Theologically" below), with an interesting degree of agreement, than listening to an old Mars Hill Audio tape in the car on the way back from the airport I heard Scott Cairns mention (in an interview about the oratoria "The Martyrdom of St. Polycarp") how he found setting a biblical text to music, or writing a poem based on the text, gave him a deeper understanding of that text than most "normal" Bible study. ¶ 3:52 PM
