I'm glad to see there is good stuff being written out there - though I do not have high hopes that some of the professors I have in mind will ever read such a book - it's published by Baker and not Fortress or HaperCollins after all...Rev.

Allert's book goes a long way in opening up this dialogue for evangelicals, and doing so in a way that isn't as threatening as it feels it's going to be, and he sets the table very nicely for future discussions. But he leaves many questions unanswered by the end of the book, or many doctrinal shibboleths still intact. I would have liked to see some more proposals for how he would actually reconfigure an evangelical doctrine of Scripture. Though I must say that his discussion of the R. Gundry/ETS debacle at the end was a good start. It's a great volume but only the start of a conversation that evangelicals desperately need to have.Tim Gombishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12350401159418681082noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-62569311527859120932007-12-01T22:00:00.000-06:002007-12-01T22:00:00.000-06:00Thanks for this review mike.

Regardless of whether 1 Tim 2 is "universal" or not, we cannot do theology before we do history, but that is exactly what happens.<BR/><BR/>Its the same thing with numerous other topics.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
