The Evangelist as Artist
- Kevin Vanhoozer learned from Bob Gundry that biblical writers were both theologians and literary artists.
- This realization connected his love for reading with his theological studies, influencing his approach to scripture and doctrine.
Imagination in Theology
- The King James Bible's negative portrayal of "imagination" has created a misconception about its role in theology.
- Imagination is a crucial cognitive faculty for relating parts to wholes, essential for systematic theology.
