In discussing Bible
inerrancy with lay believers, I am often asked if
I have read Josh McDowell's book Evidence
That Demands a Verdict. As a matter of fact, I did read it,
long
ago, and found it to be incredibly simplis- tic, as are most books of
its
type. McDowell's name has come up so often that finally, on February
6th,
I wrote to him and proposed a debate. As this edition goes to press, he
has not yet responded to the challenge. I predict that he will be no
different from other fundamentalist champions who like the security of
partisan audiences, but I will keep you posted.
