A New Hermeneutic
Is the activity or methodology under
contemplation consistent with the person and
work of Jesus Christ? If we do this, will the
people who see it think we reveal Christ? Will
we be doing what people would expect to see
Christ doing in this situation? (Rubel
Shelly Randall J. Harris, The Second
Incarnation, p. 19)

A New Hermeneutic
This principle has broad consequences for
ecclesiology. It says, for example, that the
church need not have either explicit mandate or
permission for everything it wishes to do. The
church may confidently ground its activities of
compassion and service in the character of its
head. (Ibid., p. 29)
