Interesting... You know a book I read in school was called The Way of the (Modern) World: Or, Why It's Tempting to Live As If God Doesn't Exist and it was endorsed by Wells. Have you read it and does it follow this line of thought?

I have not read the book. Looking at the summary on Amazon, it may have come out of the No Place for Truth thinking which sparked the Cambridge Confession in 1996. So I suppose it is dealing with much of the same topic (but that's just from reading the summary). Would you recommend The Way of the (Modern) World?

Yes I would. I read it in a class in 2002 and it was very very deep. Last June I picked it up and gave it a read again and yes very very deep. I am an evangelist and my thinking abilities and intellectual abilities may not match yours, so perhaps you can read it and give me a better picture of what its teaching.

Thanks. I’ll check it out. And I’m sure your intellectual abilities far exceed mine. What I lack in brains I make up for in patience. There is a benefit to slow and deliberate reading of challenging material.

Being married I am finding it I do not have as much time to read as I did when I was in seminary and when I was single out of seminary.
