We need to believe what is right, and determine what that is.Roger Pearsehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05808510649531166290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-27682204899154858232007-11-21T01:43:00.000-06:002007-11-21T01:43:00.000-06:00Thanks Mike: I particularly appreciated your obser...Thanks Mike: I particularly appreciated your observation 'Anyone writing a doctrine of Scripture must hold in their hands a copy of Codex Vaticanus and ask, "Why does this exist and why does it look how it does?"' Too often evangelicals fail to take seriously that an adequate doctrine of Scripture needs to handle the fact that there is variety in the textual tradition, both in the NT and in the way the NT 'uses' the OT/LXX.Steve Waltonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11329462117282609569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-42948911423220684012007-11-20T22:03:00.000-06:002007-11-20T22:03:00.000-06:00Mike,Good thoughts!

For example, if we were to stumble upon one of Paul's other Corinthian correspondences, should that be treated as Scripture as well, even though it wasn't preserved? If not, how does that differ from the Majority Text reasoning?<BR/><BR/>- Mike (also)<BR/><BR/>Biblioblog: exegeticalspiral.comMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15783543681202106603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-75985035976192884892007-11-20T20:25:00.000-06:002007-11-20T20:25:00.000-06:00Dear Mike,Thanks for the post--it's really stimula...Dear Mike,<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post--it's really stimulating. Two things:<BR/><BR/>[1] It's interesting how many renditions of evangelicalism only look at the USA (I'm thinking particularly of Darrly Hart here).<BR/><BR/>[2] I recently read Allert's book (I'm currently writing a paper on the canon) and found it thoroughly disappointing. He simply traces what the early church believed about Scripture, NOT what Scripture says about Scripture. When Allert comes to critique a classic understanding of canon and inspiration he (i) doesn't expound the classic view and so (ii) deals with a straw man. Alas.<BR/><BR/>God bless,<BR/><BR/>Marty Foord.Martyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09629890532827574059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-12611373910160812962007-11-20T19:28:00.001-06:002007-11-20T19:28:00.001-06:00Mike,This is thought-provoking.CelMike,<BR/><BR/>This is thought-provoking.<BR/>CelAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13840519.post-61096258148497407272007-11-20T19:28:00.000-06:002007-11-20T19:28:00.000-06:00I'm a couple chapters into A High View of Scriptur...I'm a couple chapters into <I>A High View of Scripture?</I> and while I find the thesis interesting, I find the writing kind of boring. :(Nick Norellihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12476840322475063434noreply@blogger.com
