I guess I read pretty quickly. I also read whenever I get a spare moment (at night, waiting for an appointment, on my day off, while I’m watching football, etc.). It’s also true that I don’t read every book in the same way. If a book is more of a reference book or something I’m not going to digest right away I may read it more quickly. I get the big idea, pick up a few nuggets, and know that I can come back to the book later if I need to get all the details.

Kevin,

I gotta know, do you mean you read those in the month of November? I have to admit, I don’t think I could manage that (and retain much of anything), and I read pretty swiftly. Got a secret?

Can you specify only briefly what you mean by his approach to scripture? I’m not looking to debate you, I’m just curious what you mean…

Hey Kevin,
I had to read Goldingays frist two books (monstrous!) for an OT THeo Class. He is very well read, and a great scholar, but he will definitely irk some reformed folks. Especially in his view of God’s knowlegde and dealins with people. I think sometimes he emphasiszed God’s nearness over his transcendence. I’m glad I had John Frame’s Doctrine of God to steer me through.

Hi Kevin,

firstly thanks for the Blog, be sure it’s impact is felt all the way over here in Scotland.

Can I just ask, when you said above that you will take your staff through that book, can you explain what that means practically? Do you guys have a set book a month or something? And do you meet up to discuss. I know this is not the most pressing issue in the world but would be helpful to know in my situation at the moment.

God Bless.
