"Over the last few centuries the authorship of the book of Hebrews has been a contentious topic, but lately a strong scholarly consensus has emerged that Paul was not the author. There is no similar consensus about who did author the book; the consensus is entirely negative. Nonetheless, it takes some courage for a scholar to risk his reputation by challenging a so thoroughly assured conclusion of many scholars. Yet this is precisely wh ..."

"The church in America has come to depend on professionals to "do ministry." In many churches, the pastor, paid to do the job, is the one who is expected to carry out all functions of the church. But it was not always this way. Jesus came as God-in-the-flesh. The pattern portrayed in the New Testament is that every Christian is part of the body of Christ, and the function of Christ's body is to be incarnational, to be Jesus Christ for th ..."

"Realistically applied to the New Testament the term must allow for errors in the
transmission of the text. Unfortunately, the misuse of this word is bandied around
rather like the use of “infallibility” when applied to ex cathedra pronouncements
by the Pope. We may argue that the original authors of the biblical texts were
themselves inspired but to pretend that their words were transmitted unchanged
is stretching credulity to its ..."
