Surely this must be a pseudonym?

'Phyllis Tickle' reviewing 'Real Sex: the naked truth about chastity'


 
 

Quite a claim

I also note in the same catalogue, this title which may be of interest to some...

'How to be the best Christian study group leader ever in the whole history of the universe'

Can you afford not to read it?

The reviewer adds the slightly less ambitious summary: 'Christian educators are provided with the perspective and the tools they need to be effective as small study group leaders.'

Kaleidoscopic atonement

by rosclarke @ 2006-10-16 - 13:35:29

I notice in the latest theological books catalogue I've picked up that there is now a 'Four Views' book on 'The Nature of the Atonement'. Joel Green has contributed a chapter on 'Kaleidescopic' (sic - not sure if this is his spelling or the reviewer's) atonement.

Whatever next, I wonder?

What's odd is that the four views listed: Christus Victor, Kaleidoscopic, Healing and Penal Substitution are neither exhaustive (what about governmental theories, satisfaction theories and so on) nor mutually exclusive (though, of course, without reading Green it's hard to be certain on this).

So perhaps some systematician would like to read Green, summarize and then comment here for the benefit of the rest of us? Steve Jeffery or Andrew Sach, perhaps?
