Seriously. My dollars will stay in my pocket instead of supporting a guy to whom the church surely should not be listening.  | I can certainly sympathize with this reasoning. After all, there are commentaries I read through which it is a constant exercise in gritting one's teeth. Westermann on Genesis was certainly one of those. But if conservative scholars should read liberals to know what they're saying, then shouldn't we also read FV commentaries to know how they are (ab)using Scripture? | I agree that ministers of the Gospel should, yes. |
Then we are saying the same thing. I would NEVER recommend Jordan to someone in the pew, unless they were well-read already, and were wanting to read him critically. I'm not sure I would, even then.
