I found his interpretation of this story novel: I have never heard this take on the story before. I am quite familiar with the calling of the seven deacons to take care of the widows. This is an example of knowing the biblical languages well and it shows how you can get different perspectives if you understand some of the different nuances that words have. As Levison notes, bean counters need to have integrity; you need to know that they are wise and honest. He explicitly articulates one of the major themes of this devotional book, "...the hallmark of the Spirit is not primarily spectacular miracles but he daily, dogged practice of integrity." Amen to that!
