To hear Scripture functionally, we must submit to the written text, exactly as it is presented to us by the original authors for the sole purpose of instruction. In Episode 11: Functionality Redux, Noël Neff joined me to discuss the question: If we are to hear Scripture functionally, are we also supposed to live functionally? Noël is my guest again today. She will read from Ephesians chapter 2 (v. 1-10) and follow up on this question with a new set of questions: If it is salvific to live functionally, what role does Grace play in the Biblical text? Also, are we as hearers of Scripture capable of extending this grace to others?
