I appreciate your calls for Greek-only posts. If there's anyone on
the list who likes rabbit-chasing, I'm among the most guilty.
I do wonder, however, exactly how we construct these boundaries.
If all we want are text-critical and philological comments, then I'm
less interested than if we welcome some questions like:
- what's a parable?
- how did ancient social and literary contexts shape the
meaning of texts?
I'm not interested in going into methodology or theology on this list,
but I do think issues such as these are important for our Greek
understanding.
Would appreciate your feedback and will submit to the larger wisdom of
the group.
Peace,
