Which makes me wonder why you read and blogged the book. For me, I had already left conservative evangelicalism, and a class on the book was offered at a different church than the one my wife and I attended. So we took the class together, which was a great experience. Being in the evangelical environment, both at the (more progressive evangelical) church, and with McKnight's writing, gave my wife a level of security to explore new ideas about the bible. And it also broke the ice for us to be able to talk together about them without nasty confrontation.<br /><br />So I have good memories of the book, even though I would reach many of the same negative conclusions as you did about the arguments contained within.atimetorendhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10563649474540441597noreply@blogger.com
