But if others have not read the book,or heard a particular sermon they might not feel as comfortable defending someone elses position.[ i do not think Prof. Englesma would feel uncomfortable, lol. ] But sometimes I am not so sure what to do. Do you think the response to the book would be looked at as welcomed? |
Not per se. I think if he's willing to answer your questions directly that would be cool. If you have questions about it here then I don't think it is bad to bring them up here as there are plenty that can responsibly answer in a way that Prof. Englesma would have. I think the recent interaction on the Sola Scriptura thread is a good example of how Godly men can disagree in a way that does not come across as mean-spirited.
