Beckwith...TUAD, yes, a great deal of harm was done. Beckwith also said this: <br /><br /><i>The ‘accepted results’ of critical study tend to be taken for granted as a basis for one’s own further study, and radical questions are rarely asked about them. When they are asked, and in a public manner, the presumption is against those who ask them, and any attempt the questioners make to turn back the tide of critical opinion is disregarded, as self-evidently perverse. New ideas receive an open-minded reception, but attempts to revive old ideas are, not unnaturally, seen as simply reactionary.</i><br /><br />I am merely an observer and a reporter of these processes, but I would have to say, from what I've read, not just Ladd's method, but what I've seen among other NT scholars generally, is kind of <i>jiu jitsu</i> done upon the skeptics. And I think that the body of work I'm seeing that addresses such things as "the Bauer/Ehrman thesis," the Jesus Seminar, the NPP, etc., in various commentaries, is not only very satisfying intellectually, but is also along the lines such that it can be said that these writers are "guarding the deposit of faith" in a very effective and even inspiring way.John Bugayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728044301053738095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-82080306824370193632011-05-09T15:45:09.543-04:002011-05-09T15:45:09.543-04:00What's the largest difference between the gram...What's the largest difference between the grammatical-historical method championed by inerrantists and the historical-criticism method championed by non-inerrantist LibProts?<br /><br />Here's an excerpt from Roger Beckwith concerning what happened in England in the 19th century:<br /><br />"All things considered, therefore, the revolution in Biblical study which began in England with Essays and Reviews, and the similar revolution which preceded it in Germany a hundred years before, is <b>a revolution which did more harm to the Church than good</b>...in so far as it taught us to approach the Bible unbelievingly, it has hindered the mission of the church ever since. It lies at the root of many of the calamities which have afflicted the church in our own day, and from which, until we repent of unbelief, the church will never recover."<br /><br />From <a href="http://against-heresies.blogspot.com/2011/05/counsel-of-ungodly-thomas-hardy-and.html" rel="nofollow">HERE</a>.Truth Unites... and Divideshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08891402278361538353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-7798874874853526462011-05-09T15:26:20.983-04:002011-05-09T15:26:20.983-04:00Constantine, you can't have everything. :-)Constantine, you can't have everything. :-)John Bugayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17728044301053738095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-67629289242753472042011-05-09T15:17:59.846-04:002011-05-09T15:17:59.846-04:00If only Ladd was not a premillenialist!
