There are basically two ways to read the Bible — as a book of law, or as a book of promise. Our natural religious psychology wants to read the Bible as law: “God is explaining here how I can win his favor.” A law-hermeneutic is the pre-understanding we naturally bring to our Bible reading, every page. But in Galatians 3 Paul explains that he reads the Bible as a book of promise, and he wants us to as well. He sees every page of the Bible as gracious promise from God to undeserving sinners. Is there law in the Bible? Yes. But it was “added” (v. 19). Law was inserted after the promises to Abraham were established. It is promise that comes first (Genesis 12), then law comes later (Exodus 20). It is promise, therefore, that defines the all-encompassing framework within which we are to read everything else in the Bible... Every page [in the Bible], most deeply understood, shines forth as a promise of grace to sinners in Christ.

INSTRUCTIONS

FILLING
CRUST
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees. Combine the apple slices, apple juice and
cinnamon in a large saucepan. Leave the saucepan uncovered. Simmer over low
heat until most of the liquid is absorbed into the apples, stirring
occasionally. The apples will be ready after about 30 minutes. Cool
slightly. Combine the white and whole wheat flours and salt in a bowl.
Combine 1/3 of the mixture with enough of the apple juice to form a paste.
Cut the butter into the remaining flour mixture until it resembles coarse
meal. Stir in the paste. Form a soft dough but do not knead. Roll out half
the dough and fit into the (9") Pie Plate. Fill with the cooked apples.
Roll out the remaining dough and form a top crust. Place the top crust over
the filling and press the edges together with a fork. Prick a few vents in
the top crust. Bake for 10 minutes. Reduce the oven temperature to 375
degrees. Bake until golden brown (15-20 minutes). Serve warm, at room
temperature or cold. Excellent with sharp cheddar or vanilla ice cream.
