He also thinks Longman's commentary on Ecclesiastes is exceedingly bizarre. I agree with him.<BR/><BR/> As a student of the decline of the Free Church of Scotland, I never take low views of Scripture lightly.Highland Hosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18205436472908741409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1140829227283976622006-02-24T20:00:00.000-05:002006-02-24T20:00:00.000-05:00Travis, I would recommend, if you are going to go ...Travis, I would recommend, if you are going to go for apologetics, Westminster (PA) is a great choice. With Lane Tipton and Oliphint, Poythress and others, you can not go wrong. These three along are with it. I'm sure RTS with Frame would be good as well.Jeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14336155651560538168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1140827693745266792006-02-24T19:34:00.000-05:002006-02-24T19:34:00.000-05:00It seems to me that Westminster is still a top-not...It seems to me that Westminster is still a top-notch school. I don't know enough about all the faculty to venture a general opinion. The best procedure might be for you to correspond with two or three of the professors there. Do you have my email address? If so, email me and I'll put you in touch with them.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1140803302310852572006-02-24T12:48:00.000-05:002006-02-24T12:48:00.000-05:00Actually, the Dillard/Longman book has some useful...Actually, the Dillard/Longman book has some useful material, but you have to pick out the poisonous mushrooms from the edible fare.<BR/><BR/>Read it along side, say, Gleason Archer's OT Intro (3rd ed.), or Oswald Allis' The OT: Its Claims & Its Critics.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-1140802770089795482006-02-24T12:39:00.000-05:002006-02-24T12:39:00.000-05:00Thanks for the reminder that the standard is in fa...Thanks for the reminder that the standard is in fact Scripture, and not the authors that we have come to love. Too often do those in Christianity uncritically accept writings whole by writers who are just as fallible humans as they, without checking it against Scripture.<BR/><BR/>One question I do have, though. At what point do you draw the line with a particular book? Is it where a certain percentage of the book is clearly inconsistent with Scripture that the book should not be read? (forgive me if I am unclear--I'm not really sure how to ask the question)Dan B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10018881780363017344noreply@blogger.com
