| The Lord's Service A Journal Review | | Date Created: Dec 13, 2005, 12:25 PM |
 The latest volume of Calvin Theological Journal contains a positive review of my book. (The link to CTJ is simply for reference; the current volume is not online.) The reviewer, Harry Boonstra, has been very cordial in his correspondence with me. Earlier this year he had some questions, and it seems as if I answered those questions to his satisfaction because they do not come up in his review. I sincerely appreciate this approach and wish that Christian reviewers would do this regularly when critiquing an author. Today, with the ease of email communication, there is really no excuse for not corresponding with an author before one goes public with criticism. If only more reviewers would practice this courtesy, we would be spared the exaggerations and over-interpretations that plague the world of intra-Christian criticism. Of course, mea culpa - I have been guilty of my fair share of this.
There is one criticism made by Boonstra that I would like to address in a future post.
I copied the review at the library but forget to get the bibliographic information. If anyone has that, would you mind forwarding it to me? |
