Two distinct portions to the program today, the first thoughts after the mid-term elections in the United States (we are a broken and rebellious nation), the second about the use of evidence and presuppositional apologetics somewhat connected to Matt Walsh’s appearance with Joe Rogan. I made mention of an online seminar coming up this weekend put on by Eli Ayala
We finally got a start on our response to James Brownson’s presentations on Romans 1 today on the Dividing Line, focusing upon how to recognize how scholars can twist and turn the data to allow them to get to their desired conclusions. We examined Brownson’s attempt to disconnect Paul from Genesis and instead demand that Paul’s use of “nature” should
The past week at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary, I had the opportunity to sit in on three days of Bauckham lecturing on the “Gospels as History.” He distilled some important elements of a future book, and some of his research found in his book, Jesus and the Eyewitnesses: The Gospel as Eyewitness Testimony.

Most folks with a modicum of common sense will go, “Oh, well, that sure is odd…and disjointed…and poorly written…and irrelevant” upon doing so. Here’s where you can read the whole thing.
