"Christian" history and science vs "secular"

Hi, Cartophile.

As one who has somewhat recently read Enns book that you mention, and even more recently his latest one: “Sin of Certainty”, I can affirm that they should be worth your while if you are not the sort who is easily offended or scared away when some things may push you uncomfortably.

There was an open forum discussion here on “The Bible Tells Me So” that you could check out if you want to satisfy any curiosity before you read it. And I also recently had a discussion here about his “Sin of Certainty” … which is more general and has less scholarly and theological delving than what I remember getting from his “Bible Tells Me So” --which is the one of these two I would recommend starting with if you want “snarky Enns undiluted.” After reading that you should have a good handle on where Enns is coming from, and probably find his other work less threatening (as I speculate only having read these two of his books … but also based on Christy’s observations of the gentler “Sunday School Enns”). You can always take what you want from his “Bible Tells Me So” (and I think there is much of value there to take) and then leave the rest if it crosses lines for you. If/when you get them read, let us know what you think!
