"Servant of God" in the New Testament
William Varner has an interesting post on the use of "servant of God" by James, Peter, John, and Jude. Varner suggests that this designation might be related to the Old Testament prophetic tradition. But what I find most interesting is Varner's observation that, "In my research I discovered that no Apostolic Father ever referred to himself by the term doulos.

Interpreting Old Testament Narratives
"When we interpret Old Testament stories, we should always remember that we are not hearing texts spoken directly to us; we are overhearing stories told to others. This fact creates tension, pulling us back and forth between the relevance and distance of these stories."
Richard L. Pratt Jr., He Gave Us Stories: The Bible Student's Guide to Interpreting Old Testament Narratives (Phillipsburg, PA: P & R, 1990),15.
