If I had to pick a word it would be “imagination.”

We work in a field where there are a huge number of unknowns and lots of ways of approaching a given problem.

To stop ourselves banging our heads against the same walls in the same way we need imagination to keep finding new ways of approaching at old questions.

~Alan Garrow, SIIBS, University of Sheffield

    Some one told me that God won’t give me more until I do what he has already told me to do. And, I don’t understand the Bible until I do it. Or said another way: ask for understanding, read, obey, then understand. Would this apply to Biblical Scholarship? (I apologize if this is not helpful, I am new to Logos).
