Re: 'I am the way, and the truth, and the life'

I agree with Andrew that it is not just conservative evangelicals that strive for right and proper interpretations. That’s a good point.

However, I don’t agree with Andrew that we should continue to strive for right and proper interpretations. I think the desire for a right and proper interpretation indicates a drive for a sense of certainty—which is perhaps a movement toward the abandonment of trust and faith.

Instead, I think that we should abandon our claims to have the right and proper interpretation—which is a humbling admission to make and an embrace of trust and faith.
