That you're a fresh face with stale ideas. <br /><br />So, no, I don't need to read another book that repackages the same rotten meat.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-86413906432689840752010-08-16T08:28:21.544-04:002010-08-16T08:28:21.544-04:00Says Steve, who has not read the book.

Well done. <br /><br />The fact is, I extensively engage fundamentalist apologists in a way that most liberals have never bothered to do, because I have a lot of respect for fundamentalists.

He refers us to advance praise your book.<br /><br />So when I take his advice and read Collins' foreword, Collins immediately notes that your book is a familiar rehash of the old liberal view of Scripture. So you may be a fresh face, but you're pedaling the same tired old theories.stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-18832557722821624002010-08-16T08:10:45.344-04:002010-08-16T08:10:45.344-04:00Um, make fun of it all you want.
