“God’s Word in Human Words” by Lyndon Jost tells of how this third-year seminarian came to Scripture’s teaching through his studies. “It all seemed far too human to be God’s word,” Jost writes of his early studies at Wycliffe College in Toronto, “until I began to realize that this is just how God’s word has always come to humanity: humanly.”
