Exclusion & Embrace
EXCLUSION & EMBRACE | BOOK REVIEW Reviewed by Thomas Scarborough. Miroslav Volf begins the preface to his book Exclusion & Embrace with a question that he was once asked by J ¼rgen Moltmann, “But can you embrace a cetnik?” – that is, a Serbian fighter who has committed atrocities.

Inerrancy – more…
I wrote (in an article on inerrancy): Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, had a ‘high’ view of Scripture. So must we.

Noah’s Ark again
One netfriend wrote: Sarcasm based on the idea that the ark was too small to take in all the animals specified, but that’s an idea that isn’t obviously true. Ken Smith responded: It depends on what you take as the scientific interpretation of “kinds”. If you get hold of Young’s concordance to the King James […]
