I hope, for instance, that it's not just the increasing crankiness of age that makes me more and more convinced over time that Paul did in fact write the letters to Timothy, and to find the arguments against based on inadequate criteria looking only at artificial and trivial discrepencies. <br /><br />More for your information than anyone else's, this summer I actually started blogging again after about a year and a half hiatus.

It's my experience that it's more a matter of choosing different authorities to be unquestionable than it is of giving up unquestioning argument from authority. <br /><br />Anthony McCarthyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
