F.F. Bruce on the Vocation of a Biblical Scholar

A wonderful thought from the autobiography of F.F. Bruce:

To hear the voice of God in Holy Scripture oneself, and to help others to hear it, is a worthy cause to which to devote one’s resources; to be commissioned to devote them to this cause is a sacred trust, not to be undertaken lightly, not to be refused irresponsibly, but to be fulfilled thankfully. (In Retrospect, 312).
