Is all of Scripture equal or are the "red letters" more important?

[sag38]

You are right. Scripture must be interpreted as a whole. Context is king.

CONTEXT - Interesting new book on Paul, "Paul Among the People: The Apostle Reinterpreted and Reimagined in His Own Time," Sarah Ruden. She is a Christian and a classical scholar. Her thesis is that Christian theologians don't understand the social climate in which Paul and his people lived.

At the other extreme are those who ignore or reinterpret the Gospels (including the 'red letters') in light of what they think Paul is teaching. .

Sure they do

You may find it hard to believe, but it is sad and all too true.
