Political Links
I am a libertarian and an advocate of civil liberties. I am especially in favor of separation of church and state. I believe that teaching religion is the job of churches, synagogues, mosques and other religious or private non-religious organizations. I don't think state sponsored prayers are of any value.
I do want to make clear also that I support free speech for the students in public schools, including their religious speech, limited by the discipline and educational needs of the school.

Problems in the Geneaologies of Genesis 5 and 11 (PDF)
This is a PDF copy of a paper I wrote in college. I posted it because a reader of my Threads blog asked for it, and because it illustrates my first step in moving away from young earth creationism. I would criticize myself for using popular sources in the footnotes, though the paper was supposed to be a very quick overview of a translation problem. I made this a PDF because the typewritten pages were apparently too difficult for my OCR.
Translation and Notes on the Two Creation Stories of Genesis
This is my translation along with some color coding and notes on the first two chapters of Genesis. This is not a complete exposition of those passages, but rather serves to illustrate some other material I have said and written on the topic.
The Jesus Quest: The Third Search for the Jew of Nazareth
Review of Ben Witherington's book published by IVP. This is an excellent overview from the conservative perspective. See also Bibliography for the Search for the Historical Jesus.
The Participatory Study Method
The very most basic outline of the participatory study method possible. This method is designed to allow beginners to work deeper and deeper into the text without getting overwhelmed at the start. See also I Want to Study the Bible for more information.
The Seals of Revelation
Another college paper, this time my first look at revising my views of how to understand the book of Revelation. Paper presented in 1979.
The Invisible War
A review and response to "The Invisible War" by the late Dr. Donald Grey Barnhouse. I discuss some serious issues of Biblical interpretation in looking at Dr. Barnhouse's approach to scripture.
Biblical Inspiration - My statement on Biblical inspiration. For all those who wonder how I can be a Bible teacher and not believe that the Bible is the inerrant word of God, neither in translation nor in the autographs, this is my answer.
Revival - Benefits and Dangers - A thought paper on revivals with particular focus on Brownsville Assembly of God.
Stand on the Mount Before the Lord
A short essay on prayer and listening to God.
My Personal Testimony
This isn't a general, technical article, but rather my personal expression of religious faith. Fair warning!
