Hi Jon -
As I am in the throes of my final assignments for a M.S. degree while working full-time, I will have to defer the gratification of reading your book for some months. At some point I would love for you to address in this thread the question of Romans 8:20 - 21:
For the creation was subjected to frustration, not by its own choice, but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope that the creation itself will be liberated from its bondage to decay and brought into the freedom and glory of the children of God.
This passage is commonly exegeted as referring to the fall of creation. How do you exegete the passage?
If you would rather delay the gratification of answering until some later time, I can wait. Whatever works for you.
Thanks!
Chris Falter
