More Peter Enns fallout

Michael F. Bird sums up some of the more recent happenings involving Peter Enns' dismissal from Westminster. I think point #3 is most interesting, and I think Michael astutely touches on the key issue in play. For the record, I haven't read Enns' book yet, though I've surfed enough to catch up on the general framework of his position. If what I've read is correct, then he appears to be asking the right questions. The reply, "God wrote as though there were no human mediation - as if writing the very words himself," (paraphrase) is most troublesome. So, where do we put the Bible in relation to Christ? Slippery slope folks!

Ignorance is bliss

Well it looks like the Big-10 & the Pac-10 get their way once again. It's amazing that two conferences can jettison the whole idea of a "plus two" format. I'm not sure why the Big-12 is so disinterested. What's strange, however, is the SEC's involvement in the process. No doubt it's the best conference out there. But, how/why do you complain when annually the winner of your championship game miraculously vaults 4-5 spots over everyone else? And why, if you're the Pac-10 & Big-10, does this not bother you more?  Oh, wait, I forgot!  The Rose Bowl pay-out is more important the legitimating the national champion. That's the NCAA for you.

Check it off as one more reason to like the guy come election time, and check it off as the inaugural post!  How's that for intersecting politics & basketball?
