When mac daddy reads this in the news paper, where he gets all his important news, he’ll sic all different agencies of his sock puppet administration on them to try to ruin these evil christain terrorists.
J.I. Packard who wrote “Knowing God?” If so, what a privilege. Best book (written by man) I ever read. Never have a copy because I always give it away.
I did audit a class under Merrill C. Tenney. Holy man and so humble.
His name is Dr. Robert G. Packard. He joined the faculty at Baylor in 1952.
My dad took his class in the 70s and I took it in the fall of 1996.
He was so far out of our league that the average grade was in the 50s.
But he was a magnanimous man who understood the big picture. He graded on a curve.
I thought I was going to fail but he kept reassuring me.
In the end I got a B.
In hindsight I would have taken that course just for no credit just to hear him speak.
It was a true privilege.
I remember when I looked at Baylor in the late 80s, that Grey Poupon mustard wasn’t allowed on campus because it was made with white wine.
That was a lot more restrictive than looked good to me coming out of high school.
I was just wondering if there is a way to find out who are the best theologians and where they teach.
How many of these have hosted the “Vagina Monologues” and hired Hillary to speak?
You wouldn’t count Notre Dame or that place Sandra Fluke came from as real Catholic Colleges would you?
Perhaps those are the only Catholic colleges you have heard of. Happily there are hundreds more, some of them suitable even for the sort of Christians who who’re in denial about the truth that Catholics were defending and spreading and dying for the Christian faith a thousand years before the “reformers” were heard of.
Re: “. . . when Grey Poupon wasn’t allowed on campus . . .”
I call BS on that one. However, even if true, you’re talking about Bible Belt culture, not Chrisitianity - unless you found a passage in the NT where Jesus says stay away from Grey Poupon.
I’ve never heard that Baylor went that far into the Baptist culture unless you mean the 1950s or 60s - not the 80s.
Your example sounds more like some policy from Bob Jones University than Baylor.
Someday some school is going to get the bright idea of bringing in Hillary to read the V Monologues. I hope that she says no.
