Unfortunately for all their learning these guys have pretty liberal views on the Bible and Christianity. Which means they can choose which parts they believe.

It makes it hard to read these articles because their basis for belief is so different from mine that sometimes I do not know how to take their conclusions.

Some of the article are on such narrow topics it is hard to know why they even wrote them in the first place.
