[The pastor] needs therefore to become a technical, devotional reader. Every technical skill remains, but he reads like a child, letting the word speak directly to his heart again. He gains what Paul Ricoeur calls a “second naivete.” He is both technically astute and meek. He both receives God’s word and expounds it.In this way, he finds strength to endure trials and to check the growth of sin.
— Dan Doriani on James 1:21
