Reading the other side of the New Testament
Commentary
It is important that we never forget that the New Testament was written in the midst of real life, real flesh and blood situations, that it was written to a real people who were facing real problems.
We are not always told what the problems are but that does not mean that we cannot know them. All we have to do is to hear what is being said in order to know the problem addressed.
If a strong statement is made about some item of faith then we can assume that someone is watering it down or taking an opposing view.
