Thanx again! Yes, I agree that most NG ...Hi Thomas,<br />Thanx again! Yes, I agree that most NG ministers are not willing to respond to the issues in Opgestaan. Ds Chris Visser from the NG Kerk did however write an extensive review you might want to look at here:http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Testament-Documents-They-Reliable/dp/0802822193/ref=pd_sim_b_1<br /><br />About the topic for your Masters: I recommend you read THIS book by FF Bruce that might lead you in the right direction: http://www.amazon.co.uk/New-Testament-Documents-They-Reliable/dp/0802822193/ref=pd_sim_b_1<br />Several Evangelical scholars in Cambridge still regard this work of FF Bruce as a classic that needs to be read today....<br /><br />Best regards<br />FerdieFrederik Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196783247144695855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725661126161848078.post-38937269966081597222012-01-04T21:16:37.485-08:002012-01-04T21:16:37.485-08:00The thing that gets me is that many NGK pastors wh...The thing that gets me is that many NGK pastors who agree with you kept quiet or are kept quiet. The lack of boldness is astonishing.<br /><br />I’m trying to get into a Masters program. I’m interested to do something on the reliability of scripture, inspiration or authority. <br />Do you have any suggestions for a good title?<br /><br />(I was off on the Keener stuff, his long commentary is on Acts)Thomas Louwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406486510590654502noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725661126161848078.post-14729762260718836192012-01-04T10:27:18.412-08:002012-01-04T10:27:18.412-08:00Thanx for this Thomas!
You make very interesting p...Thanx for this Thomas!<br />You make very interesting points. Dr Kirkpatrick is now probably the most important theologian in the NG Kerk because he is the chairman of the committee that recommends new interpretations of Scripture to the General Synod. <br />I have only started to read Keener and already I am overwhelmed by the depth and breadth of his insights. <br />My impression here in the UK and Holland is that the big mainline churches are giving in to liberalism leaving many evangelical Christians no choice but to leave. (I resigned from the NGK in 2007).<br />If I have it right, Keener is in an Evangelical church...Frederik Mulderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15196783247144695855noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3725661126161848078.post-5702277654724519672012-01-03T20:27:53.771-08:002012-01-03T20:27:53.771-08:00Hi Ferdie.

Hai...Hi Ferdie.<br /><br />Just finished you book “Opgestaan”<br />Hair raising stuff. I also fell victim to the whole New Reformation/Sceptic guys.<br />I attended a Seminary where Dr James Kirkpatrick gave me Old Testament for three years, totally messed with my head. <br />I didn’t really realize what the full impact of his and others teachings was till long afterwards.<br />God has been gracious and my faith has been built up by many guys especially Dr Craig Keener. <br />I’m unable to buy his 7 volume Luke Commentary or his 2000 page Matthew commentary (maybe I’m out with the page number but, it very close) but, have listened too many of his lectures and found them very helpful.<br />Hope you enjoy the year.<br />God bless.Thomas Louwhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406486510590654502noreply@blogger.com
