Jim says that "I’ve spent a good bit of my eyesight reading fundametalist authors and always with the same outcome: what they write is garbage." I was wondering how much of your eyesight have you spent reading Liberalmentalist scholars? Do you read every new book by Crossan et al? Admittedly they don't have much new to say and how much you need to read in order to gain credibility in the eyes of Jim is a question only he can answer. I sometimes wonder how much is enough. At what point does the average Christian say this is the truth and let's get on with life? I realise it is partly your job to engage but not every Christian is going to feel the need.
