Amazon.com says November...

Zondervan, the publisher, says December...

Millard has tended to be a pretty fair and balanced commentator on movements he disagrees with. So I have more hope for this book than I've had for the multitude of others that have come out. I HOPE he -- or someone -- takes seriously the infinite intelligence argument, because it answers most of the concerns detractors have about the "fear factor" toward openness.

I'm really looking forward to this one. The title of the book is the question I always asked when I held the open view.

I don't know ... the sand slipping between the fingers thing ... doesn't look good. Doesn't look good!

Oh well, what's new!

Well, I think that obsessing over every anti-OVTheism book that comes out is the best way to ensure that OVTheism will spread.

Niebuhr thought that sustained moral energy in politics depended on religion's power to mobilize reason along with self-transcending love. The prophetic tradition, meanwhile, gave Jews and Christians some protection against the temptation to identify their social causes with God's will. Lincoln's second inaugural address expressed the prophetic insight, "The almighty has His own purposes."
