About Me
- Douglas Groothuis, Ph.D.
- Nothing on this blog represents the position of Denver Seminary. I am a Christian, philosopher, teacher, writer, and preacher, who is Professor of Philosophy at Denver Seminary. My most recent of my twelve books is Philosophy in Seven Sentences. My magnum opus is Christian Apologetics: A Comprehensive Case for Biblical Faith (InterVarsity Press, 2011). I have published ten others, including Truth Decay and On Jesus. I direct the Christian Apologetics and Ethics MA program at Denver Seminary.

And thank God for that!
That is a pointless cheap shot, Jeffrey. I wonder why I posted it.
It was intended to be a light-hearted joke; I'm sorry it didn't come across as I intended.
Don't you think this is a weakness of Protestantism, particularly in its low-church, Evangelical form? Given the hallmark principle of sola scripture, there can be no interpretive authority outsidheir the individual reader and, therefore, no way to fence the sacred.
Begging you pardon, this is how you get women pastors.
You get women pastors by properly interpreting the Bible as the supreme authority. See Rebecca Merrill Groothuis, Good News for Women.
Dr Groothuis, I have read both of your wife's books. I am sorry to say I found them too carefully argued in the manner Chesterton would have called, "decadence".
But then, as I said, that is Protestantism.
One more thought, if you'll permit me, before I leave you in peace. It has been some years since I read Mrs. Groothuis's books, but if I recall correctly, she was quite right to reject the criticism her second book received. As she has constructed the argument, it is likely unassailable.
What I could not see, however, is why the argument should be constructed in that manner.
