Indeed it has.
Welcome, Michael, to the ASA Listserv.
Although email is not the medium for resolving profound questions,
it has proved its worth in gradually gathering together people
such as you who are patiently building their framework of faith.
I had a great time at the I-V faculty meeting in Philadelphia
a couple of months ago. It is clear that Inter-Varsity people are
wise enough not to latch onto a particular person's approach to
the problems, recognizing as scholars do that we run up against
many uncertainties. "Now we know in part; then face-to-face."
Hope to read more from you.
