“But remember, the fruit—which Christ required for identifying the nature of a tree—is way out on the edges of the tree and is at the farthest point away from the root. We must recover the understanding that peripherals are central because the center is important. The root is the most important, and is central, and we test what is central by tasting what is at the edges” (Writers to Read, p. 26).

“…peripherals are central because the center is important.”
Not sure I follow? Seems like it would be peripherals are important because the center is central. The peripheral fruit would be a function of the central root. ?
In other words:
“He that is faithful in that which is least, is faithful also in that which is greater: and he that is unjust in that which is little, is unjust also in that which is greater.” (Luke 16:10)
