Thoughts on Year C Epistle Passages in the Lectionary,"
Pentecost 6, William Loader, Murdoch University, Uniting Church in
Australia.
| "Ultimately, for Paul, love gets to the
detail and teaches us what to do with it. It tilts us out of old grooves,
whether they are habits of greed or biblically sanctioned requirements
such as the law about circumcising Gentiles. Thus Paul's understanding of
peace and love is radical and confronting and always focused on life and
renewal." |

| "The scandal of the cross consists in this: Christians in their history
have made it a sign of conquering hate rather than sacrificial love. It is now time to ask
whether the cross itself can be redeemed." |
