Comments on: Discussion http://www.wanting-more.ca/2009/09/02/discussion/ A place where I share my thoughts and ramblings about spiritual life and my desire for more of God (for me, for the church and for the world). Thanks for stopping by.

I will check it out when I'm done. My comment about it being ironic was partially based on the fact that they talk about most of the questions that were asked on the site I linked to. I might do a bit of a review of the book when I'm done as well. I've really enjoyed reading it and have found it engaging but haven't always agreed fully with their conclusions. Thanks for the link.

I have not read his critique of it yet. I'm saving it until after I have read the book (which is sitting here beside me in my office about fifth in line on my "books to read" list). I've been told that Ben's response is very thorough and historically rooted. I'm not sharing this with you in an effort to question Barna and Viola. Like I said...I haven't read either the book or the critique of it yet. I just thought you might want to see a thorough and academic presentation of the other side of the proverbial coin. Maybe I'll jump the book to the top of my pile so we can have a real discussion about it soon! Hey Charlie,
