Very interesting review of Terry Eagleton's new book on the "new" "atheism." That Eagleton is not a Christian makes his palpable sympathy to Christianity and disdain of the "arguments" of the new atheists all the more interesting.
About Me
- Eric
- I'm a happily married father of two and a professor of Old Testament at Briercrest Seminary in Saskatchewan, Canada. I am a Christian - with regard to grace, Augustinian; with regard to faith and the manner of one's union with Christ, Kierkegaardian; with regard to ecclesiology, very interested in Anglicanism; with regard to biblical interpretation, typological; "postmodern" in philosophical accent.
