Why “The Footnotes”?

Well-written books contain information that has been carefully selected to accomplish a particular purpose. Sometimes, information has to be cut from the main text because it might break the flow or distract from the author’s central point. However, the author may decide that the information that he can’t include would still be helpful to some readers. What does he do?

He puts it in the footnotes.

Preaching and teaching are the same way. There is a temptation to overwhelm the listener with everything we know or everything we want to say. However, I have a few, all-too-brief opportunities each week to share the most important information; some of what I know or want to say does not make the final cut. If I still think it’s helpful enough or important enough to share, I’ll put it in The Footnotes.
