Theology That Bites Back
From time to time I have confessed, or perhaps acknowledged would be a better word, and perhaps I am taking too long to come to the point, that I read dictionaries. I suppose you could categorize this as a guilty pleasure, but guilt is not really the right word. Sheepishness is more like it. Today’s …
I need to make a couple of corrections on things that I know I have said or written over the years, but am not exactly sure where and when. The first has to do with The Webster Bible, one put together by the great American lexicographer, Noah Webster. Many years ago, I had read somewhere …
