How to read this blog!

These discussions between Alan and Jace need to be read sequentially. You just think they don't make much sense, try reading them out of order! We have named each blog in the following manner:
#1 -Title of Blog
#2- Title of Blog

Etcetera. Once a topic is started by Alan or Jace they will keep that topic as the "Title of Blog" followed by a Post #. The Post # will dictate where, sequentially, a given post belongs in the timeline. For now, it's not an issue. Simply scroll to the bottom and read upwards. Still, we are initiating this library system in the hopes it will one day be necessary!

Enjoy....

#48.5 A Suggestion

You mentioned wanting to un-pause Belling the Cat. I have a suggestion. Neither of us has time to do a ton of research. It might be more efficient and effective to discuss someone else's.

The reality is that my view of the gospels hinges upon the historicity of Jesus' resurrection. If that didn't happen, nothing else about Christianity matters.

N.T. Wright wrote a tome that is wonderfully researched and footnoted. We could read a chapter at a time and then discuss. Thoughts?

Here's a link to the book.

    I would add that this isn't in any way a typical apologetic argument. It's a cultural and historical treatment that is quite scholarly. It's not Josh McDowell-ish.

    Wow! Atheist literature is much more cost effective! ;)
    Will the Kindle version of this tome suffice? Sometimes the Kindle version is abridged.

    I'm sure the Kindle veresion is fine. I looked on Amazon at it doesn't appear to be abridged. I'm giddy with anticipation. I'm sure you feel the same.
