Wow! Bruce Waltke and theistic Evolution
Bruce Waltke, the recently resigned prof from Reformed Theological Seminary – now at Knox Theological Seminary – does some fancy soft-shoeing after being recorded and posted in his views FOR theistic Evolution.

Ezekiel 28 & Interpreting Prophetic Literature
Since we have been “unplugged” the past two weeks, I will bullet some notes for those of you who would be looking for then from the last two classes (3/14&21/2010) in NewLife. Do take note that the examples that we began looking at and the categories we covered are not exhaustive in the process of interpreting prophetic literature, but provide the facts that:
– Interpreting prophetic literature takes though and work
– A look at genre in the Biblical Corpus is important
– The Bible is Its own genre
– The Bible is meant to be understood
– ****Theme point here**** We must interpret prophetic literature literally until the text requires us to interpret it symbolically.
– The book mentioned that could be a help for this is, Interpreting the Prophetic Word by Willem VanGemeren.
