In reading Frederick Dale Bruner’s commentary on Matthew I came across this quote of his while commenting on Matthew 5:18:
“When teachers loosen Scripture, they encourage their students to loosen it, too. … Therefore Jesus says, Be warned: what you do to Scripture will be done to you in judgment: minimalization or maximalization. Religion, Bible, and seminary teachers must be especially careful when they refer to Scripture. Students pick up our attitude to it – to our greater or lesse judgment.” (p.202)
