Steve and Dave, like everyone, live in between the biblical text and the practice of the church. This is normal. However, they stretch out their arms as they simultaneously grasp both the Bible and the Church in our changing world and pull them together in a manner that challenges practitioners who have nothing to say, equips thinkers trying to give expression to their thoughts, and encourages all of us who pray, "Thy Kingdom come..." This is remarkable, and I consider Steve and Dave remarkable friends whose lives and teaching challenge, equip, and encourage me.
