Significant Other
Buch
SIGNIFICANT OTHER - volume twoIn this second volume, Scott suggests that our familiarity with certain words can cause us to inject a meaning into them that can obscure how those words would have been understood in their original setting.

They are certainly not the final word, but are intended to open possibilities beyond a theology that selects a narrow set of 'proof-texts' (while ignoring others). Written in simple language, never demanding agreement with the author, they will become a resource to develop one's own convictions.

Über den Autor
Martin Scott, married to Gayle, with whom he has lived in Spain since 2009; born in Orkney (islands off the north of Scotland) a number of years earlier! At times opinionated, arrogant and often slow to learn... not characteristics most authors profess to have! Believing in the image of God in humanity, Martin is optimistic about the future. His writings connect with a wide diversity of people, particularly those who are willing to think outside the box.
