Also, in light
of the previous
point, this sort
of makes pastors and preachers the dealers in this transaction, which is why you will very often find the most Bible addicts in a church where the pastor and preacher places an heavy and
constant emphasis on attending church, listening to sermons, daily Bible reading, and going to Bible studies.
But if so, then this «going beyond the New Testament» should perhaps be done consciously and should always be identified as such with clarity and
emphasis, especially where a
constant effort is being made to argue from the
point of view
of the Bible, as is the case with Barth.
