reversal and trust (2018/11/04)
Three really literary passages this week, where reversal and revision are the order of the day. Manasseh flip-flops, the names of Hosea's kids are inverted, and Peter does an about-face on Torah observance for the Gentile Christians.

When scripture presents us with different versions of the same events or characters, we can sometimes tie ourselves up in knots trying to figure it all out. But if we step back and allow scripture to speak on its own terms, if we allow for the existence of different perspectives, it becomes a lot less uncomfortable a lot more meaningful!
