This is an open-comment theology blog where I will post various theological musings, mostly in sermon or essay form, for others to read and comment on. If what I say here interests you, you may want to check out some of my books. Feel free to criticize, to critique, to comment, but keep comments to the point and respectful. Many of these posts have been published elsewhere, but I wanted them collected and made available to a wider audience.

Quotable
For my friend Kevin Tones:
"...the astute observer might note that King David never actually went through a heavy metal phase, though some of his lyrics could have easily found a home in Dio-era Sabbath."- Mark Russell
Whatever context was Mark Russell talking about King David? What is more who knew he even was aware there was a Dio-era of Black Sabbath?
ReplyDeleteSeriously what is the context of the quotation?
It is from the preface of the book I talk about here:

He is talking about the poetic license he took in some parts of the book, for effect.
