One of the things I really respect about Doug Moo is that he is constantly grappling with the text. Where he hears the text saying something which is not what his tradition would have said, he will go with the text.

I came up during the 'Star Wars' generation and that was sort of the thing I plugged into much more. It was a little before my time and I think it was sort of grappling with these intellectual ideas that were a little advanced for my young mind. At the time. But now I have a much deeper appreciation for it.

Thorne blinked at her, then down at the sewage he could barely make out in the darkness. Don't you have some tool in that fancy hand of yours that can get us across? Cinder glared, light-headed from her body's instinctively short breaths. Oh, wow, how could I have forgotten about my grappling hook?
Marissa Meyer

The beauty of the literary art, the grappling with the black church, the wrestling with one's identity in the bosom of a complicated black community that was both bulwark to the larger white society as well as a threshing ground, so to speak, to hash out the differences that black people have among ourselves.
