The New Testament in 3 Words

A great quote from J. I. Packer from his great book, "Knowing God":

“Were I asked to focus the New Testament message in three words, my proposal would be adoption through propitiation, and I do not expect ever to meet a richer or more pregnant summary of the gospel than that.

I'm reading that book now. Or, still. It is too meaty to fly through.

In truth, after a year and a half of reading academic and often apparently impractical babble, my brain struggles to read hard stuff. I just want to skip over it and write the paper nobody cares about - a sad reality of higher education. ;) So this book is taking me a long time but I'm determined.
