I love these debate-books because they (usually) layout distinct positions winsomely. And my favorite parts are when the contributors interact with each other after their initial essays.
- Vanhoozer’s response to Mohler: “Mohler and I are allies in the book on these matters, even if we weigh them differently. Still, I find his chapter somewhat troubling, not because of what he explicitly says but rather because of how he says it, and in particular because of what he does not say.” (p. 72)
- A jaw-dropping assertion by Enns: “The historical core for the exodus story could just as easily be, as many biblical scholars think, a small band of slaves who left or escaped Egypt and migrated over land (or across a shallow lake), and later generations retold this historical core in mythic language.” (p. 97)
