This, my latest, is from Baylor University Press who also hosts such luminaries as Ephraim Radner. This book would not exist without the initiatives of Kimlyn Bender, Professor of Systematic Theology at Truett, and one of the best colleagues I've had in my whole life--which is saying quite a lot.

Hard to ignore this.
The parable was a response re the definition of "neighbor" in the Royal Law (Lev 19).
The immediate context of Lev 19 shows neighbor love = doing justice for all.
The larger context of the OT law makes it clear that justice had to include protecting foreigners.

Every few days I read another piece about 😱The Tragedy of Literature In Our Post-Literate Society 😳, and when I do I always want to ask the author just one question: When Milton wrote *Paradise Lost*, what percentage of the English population were literate enough to read it?

To be clear, I’m saying students don’t need teen-targeted content. They’re more than capable of interacting with Scripture as adults (and with adults). Devotionals can slow or sabotage their developing Bible literacy because devos spoon-feed. Give them tools to learn the Bible & form a study habit.
Parents of teens, before you buy them a teen devotional or teen Bible study, read this: www.thegospelcoalition.org/article/teac...
How to Teach Your Teen to Study the Bible
Here’s a simple approach you can adapt to fit the age of your teen.

Neither would they put the silver pieces they paid to Judas in the temple treasury because it was “blood money” (Matthew 27:6). Legalism prides itself on outward appearances of obedience, all the while oblivious to inner corruption. 2/2
