I'm gonna be migrating to a new handle and will have to redirect this account.

I think one of the most valuable aspects of Scripture recognized by Protestantism is the fact that everyone has the ability to engage with it personally. It is itself a tradition but also at the same time it has continually found itself quoted and invoked to challenge tradition.
It acts as a common discursive battleground for both authorities and rebels to make sense of the world around them and figure out what "doing right" even means.
And out of that comes an engagement with history that's more honest than either the liberals or the traditionalists (who make history their preoccupation).
Organically the book becomes applied and translated into the intellectual terms of its context (the early 20th century), but in doing so it still only seeks to restate and recover the essence of what Paul already said.
