Full Transfiguring Power

“The Bible’s message is the power of God to salvation, but that message comes to us in a particular form . . . . When we detach the message from the medium, we muzzle the message itself. The message can still get through; the Spirit blows where he listeth. But the message does not get through in its full transfiguring power” (Peter Leithart, Deep Exegesis, 34).
