A method of interpretation—a hermeneutic—is indispensable for understanding Scripture, constructing theology, and living the Christian life, but most contemporary hermeneutical systems fail to acknowledge the principles and practices of the biblical writers themselves.

Jesus came to lift up the lowly. Throughout his ministry to his final days on the road to the cross, we find stories of his relationships with ordinary, flawed, and unexpected people. He met, dined, and traveled with people who were not perfect. Many of them were struggling, some were outsiders or even outlaws. Whoever they were, from those he healed to the outlaws with him at his crucifixion, Jesus brought the good news of God's kingdom to those who most needed to hear it. Adam Hamilton explores the life, teachings, death, and resurrection of Jesus as told in the Gospel of Luke.

Und zwar immer von den Leuten, die es auch noch gutheißen, dass andere Lebewesen wegen ihrer Gaumenfreuden getötet werden. Und das, ohne irgendwelche ethischen Bedenken! Nein nein, für Wurst und Braten hatte Jesus niemals eine Rechtfertigung abgegeben. Auch wenn sein Name ständig dafür missbraucht wird.

God is seeking and equipping ordinary men and women whose greatest qualification is that they make themselves available to him.
