The proposal to invite a newcomer, a known novice in Scripture study, was postponed because of the scheduled subject matter. What might her reaction be to the concluding chapters?

I should have spoke up; I'll have my say here: I was scandalized by the consensus.

Because of my personal devotion to the material?

Because the decision implied a lack of confidence, even doubt about the possibility of reaching this person with Word and Spirit?

At the very least, it betrayed the spirit of the early reformers, the drive to make available the Scripture to all.

The Morning Star of the Reformation would be grieved.

Invite her ... prepare ... and pray!
