[July 1998 journal entry]
If I were to be asked for a short list of anchoring texts for me in Jewish scripture and Christian scripture, I would list – Job, Ecclesiastes, Philemon, the ‘Sermon on the Mount’ (both in Matthew and in Luke), Habakkuk, Psalm 46, Psalm 73, the Good Samaritan parable, Matthew 25:31-46, Mark 6 re ‘marketplace’, Micah 6:6-8 (and similar statements in the prophets).
