Male - ChristianF.F. Bruce's New Testament History
Has anybody read this? It's been sitting on my shelf and I am about to tackle it. Any thoughts?
CS Lewis, Mere ChristianityThere is no need to be worried by facetious people who try to make the Christian hope of 'Heaven' ridiculous by saying they do not want 'to spend eternity playing harps'. The answer to such people is that if they cannot understand books written for grown-ups, they should not talk about them.

I've got it on my to read pile. I've thumbed through it and it look interesting and thorough . . . and extensive . . . somewhat of a challenge I suppose.
I'll start it soon . . . maybe today. I usually read more than one book of a kind . . . 'cause . . . like reading Feyerbend and say, David Stove requires too much energy for me to keep at it all day like I used too. I'm getting old I guess.
I would be interesting to trade thoughts on this book:)
My one thought I guess . . . ha ha is that the author explicitly acknowledges that he is writing this book as a Historian and not as a theologian. Of course this will always make him open to attack for bias. I don't know anything about him so I can't say . . . although I think it is possible for one to be objective and put aside ones beliefs . . . I think.

Alright, I'm finally reading it, just finished chapter 1. I'd be glad to start discussing it, too. Where are you in the book?
