I may be mistaken, but I think that Pannenberg doesn’t believe in the virgin birth. I’d like to be proven wrong. I don’t think you wasted your money, Bruce. I’ve enjoyed everything I have read by him and he appears to be a really nice guy, also. One of my professors spent a year studying with Herr Pannenberg several years ago, so when we were in Munich a little over a year ago (just 2 days), I looked up his address in the phonebook and it was in there. Since we were going to be back in Munich for one day after several in Regensburg, I wrote him a short note telling him that I was a student of Dr. Gutenson and that I would be back in a few days. I was hoping that he would send me a note to our hotel so that we could have coffee before we went back to Spain, but there was no word. Three months later I get a letter from him at school telling me that he was sorry he missed me. He’d never met me before. I thought that was cool, so he gets points in my book for that.

Michael, if I added a glossary of important terms to that guide to Revelation you wrote, would you let me use it? It looks like I’m going to get roped in to teaching it soon. Some one asked me tonight what I thought about Left Behind and after about ten minutes of ripping on it, they asked me to teach one. I should have kept my yapper shut.

I’ve never seen “ouk” used as “therefore”. I’d say that guy knows just enough Greek to be dangerous. Oh, wait, he referenced some guy who’s probably the leader of some weird sect and has his own gnostic Greek textbook.

A+ on the synopsis thingy. I love it.
