When Scholars Collide....

I have seen two very interesting exchanges over the past several day. Dr Victor Reppert vs John Loftus. on the "Outsider Test for Faith" concept. Loftus posted an open letter to Dr Reppert. The statement was challenging and defensive, but Dr Reppert responded anyway. Sure hope Loftus at least reads the response. It was a good one, but I doubt Loftus will understand it.

Just as interesting is the back-and-forth between Dr Paul Copan and Dr Matthew Flannagan  versus Dr. Hector Avalos on the morality in the Old Testament and how do do scholarship. Read Flannagan's latest post at his link
