"The newly published book-length critique of my book is simply a mess of circular argument, special pleading, and irrelevant “evidence,”"
I read his 30 page "critique" (as a PDF), and it is as I expected, the writer makes no attempt to improve his terrible argumentation. His intro:
Since the founding of the first Christian church in Jerusalem, there have been those who have argued that Jesus Christ was not God. This attack on the Person of Jesus has been a part of history throughout the life of the church. In recent years, a prominent group consistently denying the deity of Christ has been the Jehovah's Witnesses...Ultimately the reader will find that modern translations of the New Testament do not distort or mishandle these important biblical passages which consistently teach that Jesus is God in the flesh.

No offense to Thomas Howe, but he is out of his league on this one. He should just leave it up to those in his camp--Bowman Jr., Wallace, etc.
ReplyDeleteI would have loved to read this interview but found it to be a dead link
