Michelle Knight on “What makes a good Biblical Scholar or Theologian?”

In my experience, it is the ability to listen that makes a great biblical scholar.

With a receptive posture and a generous hermeneutic, the scholar listens to the text, to its most influential interpreters, to insightful voices that might otherwise be silenced, and above all, to the still, small voice of God.

~Michelle Knight, Assistant Professor of Old Testament and Semitic Languages at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School
