Snapper With Cilantro Butter

The man who studies theology, and especially he who studies dogmatics, might watch carefully whether he increasingly does not think in the third rather than the second person. You know what I mean by that. This transition from one to the other level of thought, from a personal relationship with God to a merely technical reference, usually is exactly synchronized with the moment that I no longer can read the word of Holy Scripture as a word to me, but only as the object of exegetical endeavors. This is the first step toward the worst and most widespread ministers’ disease. For the minister frequently can hardly expound a text as a letter which has been written to him, but he reads the text under the impulse of the question, How would it be used in a sermon?

rough log about 2 inches long and 1 inch in diameter, wrap in plastic
wrap and chill until firm. Prepare a fire in the grill. Position the
oiled rack 4-6 inches above the fire. Rub the fish lightly with oil
and sprinkle to taste with salt and pepper. Arrange the fish on the

turns from translucent to opaque throughout. Remove to a warmed
platter or plates. Cut the cilantro butter into 4 equal slices and  top
