Then we looked at Paul’s statements in 1 Thessalonians 4 and 1 Corinthians 9 as a backdrop to considering common accusations against Paul made by Islamic apologists. Then in the second hour we spent a good deal of

Yeah, It Was a Long Summer, but Please!
James White, , Roman CatholicismYes, the summer months are tough on ministries. Donations are down all over, including here in the ol’ A&O bunker. But after getting eight copies of the same “we are about to go belly up, we need a quarter of a million bucks right now” e-mails from Catholic Answers, I started getting another one, featuring a Madonna/child graphic, for the

James White, , Roman CatholicismHey, dynamic equivalency is all the rage, and no one wants to be a literalist and actually worry about things like context and word meaning, so the NRCT may well be a big hit.
