Fogging God’s Glory
An article by Lee Eclov:
A third way we fog God’s glory is by not showing how he stands behind texts that are not explicitly about him. When I see a play I like, I’m invariably curious about the playwright. What of her is written into this story? What prompted him to give such a powerful speech to that character? Many Bible passages don’t have explicit statements about the attributes of God, but there is no text that doesn’t reveal something wondrous of God. We don’t do the text justice if we don’t help people see God standing in the wings.
