Forgetfulness and Disloyalty

Sharing Options

“Since the resolve of the expositor is to be faithful to his text, the two main pitfalls may be termed forgetfulness and disloyalty. The forgetful expositor loses sight of his text by going off on a tangent and following his own fancy. The disloyal expositor appears to remain with the text, but strains and stretches it into something quite different from its original and natural meaning” (Stott, Between Two Worlds, pp. 129-130).
