When I was in seminary, one of the professors said, "Always make your messages understandable to the people in the pews, but, once a year, preach a message that is 'over their heads' just to show them that you can." Somehow, I was never able to give a message "over their heads." As a result, I concentrated on the "make it understandable" part. The essays and sermon adap-tations that follow are a part of my attempts to make things a little more understandable. Hence, my efforts at "unmuzzling the dogma." Thomas B.
