  - "1 Timothy 2:6, therefore, depicts the death of Jesus Christ in atonement categories; yet its imagery does not deploy sacrificial rituals from the temple cult. Instead, it draws on secular motifs: the death on the cross is understood as an event of existential exchange that provides new life for humanity."

  - "...none of us should ever leave this Preface and head for Verse 8 and the verses following it without being cognizant of the difference between the snapshots of our heritage and the videos of our own time."
- Commentary, 1 Timothy 2:1-7, A.K.M. Adam, Preaching This Week, WorkingPreacher.org, 2010.
  - "This week's passage picks up and sustains the theological grounding of the offer of free grace for all (regardless of whether all receive that grace), and situates it in a practical context."
- "Every One of Us," sermon discussion from Frederick Buechner, Frederick Buechner Blog.
  - "The power that is in Jesus, and before which all other powers on earth and in heaven give way, the power that holds all things in existence from the sparrow's eye to the farthest star, is above all else a loving power. That means we are loved even in our lostness."
- "Prayers and Peace," Mary Hinkle Shore, Pilgrim Preaching, 2010.
  - "From a text in one of the pastoral epistles, a risky, subversive way of being Christian starts to come into focus: we do not pray for the powerful in order to be left alone by them. We pray so that our paths may cross with these people?in Christ."

  - "If there is a role of mediation we fulfil it is solely to pass on what we freely receive, not to play god. People have enough trouble struggling with their gods than for us to place ourselves in that pantheon."
