"There is a fundamental awkwardness in assuming that if Scripture doesn’t explicitly emphasize something, then therefore it’s not important. Scripture doesn’t emphasize buying pasteurized milk in plastic gallon jugs. Shall we there stop this great supermarket-imposed evil? Scripture nowhere emphasizes arguments for the existence of God. Shall we therefore not believe in Him? Of course not, because silence on an issue should never automatically be interpreted as dismissal or denial of any certain position on that issue. On the contrary, lack of emphasis on a subject often occurs because of common assent by the audience involved. Scripture does not argue the existence of God, for example, it rather assumes it from page one, because it was the given understanding for those to whom it was written."
