All sufficient for what?
Although in their theological education they were taught that Scripture was all-sufficient, this was not nuanced. All sufficient for what? Dan found exegesis inadequate to help him during his son’s cancer. He began to recognize that without the working of the Spirit on one’s heart as the mind is engaged in study of the Word, the result is merely knowledge. It’s not adequate for the soul. An extragete is one who cultivates their response to the witness of the Spirit in their life, and always has as the goal of their study the magnification of Jesus Christ.
