Typical Wipf & Stock: costs a fortune. What is all this stuff? Is this about God wiping out ‘sinners’? Either way — eternal torment, or eternal annihilation — it is a very long way from ‘at the name of Jesus every knee will bow and every tongue confess him Lord, to the glory of God.’ Every knee that’s left after God’s holocaust; every tongue that remains after a multitude of them have been fried and then wiped out. And presumably they’re all going down because Adam’s guilt was imputed to them, and Adam’s corruption transmitted.
I am from the same general fellowship of churches as Mr. Fudge. I don’t know him but have appreciated him. I also have (and continue) to suffer through disenfranchisement as he did.
On a completely different note – I am thoroughly enjoying Jesus I have Loved …. (mid way through) So very well done – Having read much of Wright & most of Richard Hays’ work – I am very much in tune with your perspectives and find your articulation of these themes to be exceptional (actually like some points better than Wright’s new work).
One pet peeve I must address (for future reference): multiple times you’ll write something akin to, “There are two points to consider here. First ….” And, then you don’t have a “Second, …” One has to figure out where the transition is between the first and where the second point picks up. This is very frustrating. I find myself saying, “Wait, is that the second point? What exactly is the second point?” It also slows down the reading. It may not be as stylistically smooth, but I think, it would help the reader to ensure if you are going to have a “First,” in any list, then verbalize the “Second, Third … etc.” Just a helpful point. Otherwise, very clear and excellent points. Just love the book.
