Say What?

Cross Talk

“When we try to say that the cross means this, or that, or the other thing, we usually end up doing something analogous to playing a Beethoven symphony on a mouth-organ. We bring it down to the level of our own thinking and feeling, instead of allowing it to lift our thinking and feeling–yes, and our praying and living and loving–up to its own level.” (NT Wright, For All God’s Worth, p. 53)
