Thank you for that, Cvengr. I pinged you Blogger, because I wanted to share this with you.
Whatever else is true, and whatever differences there may be in this or that proposition, it is, I think, just a Cvengr says -- if I were to tweak it at all it would be to say that in this kind of reading we get to know not the book but the author, and at that point what we say is way less important that what HE says.
Uh Oh. Time for the pre-pre kickoff commentary show advertisements!
It is certainly never a bad thing when one with faith in Christ saturates themselves in the Written Word. It is like the neverending story. Each time you pick it up there is some new nugget!
