Calvin and Evolution
Today I posted the fifth post in a series of posts on Calvin and evolution. The previous four posts can be found on the links to the right of that page.
The Story of Cain
For the last several weeks I have been blogging at BioLogos on the story of Cain and how early interpreters handled some of the ambiguities in that story. The overall purpose of that series is to encourage hermeneutical self-awareness as interpreters today try to read that story well. I normally link my BioLogos posts weekly, but, hey….I’ve [...]
