Lovely suggestion, Matt. I’m anxious that we hold in a vibrant creative tension the historical and the contemporary, too.

And I think you’re absolutely right about sensitively and intelligently deconstructing our (pre)conceptions in the process of (re)construction. We must listen humbly to the critiques of traditional understandings (often, though not always, made by those who’ve been marginalised and to whom the gospel was supposed to be good news!) and respond gently, wisely and energetically, if that’s not too oxymoronic!
