SPEAK The Gospel

Gregory Boyd – Reflections on an Idolatrous Bible

Pastor Boyd has some good thoughts on a new Bible on the market.  He is not one to beat around the bush and this review is a good example of this.  I am a fan of study Bibles, theme Bible, life application Bibles, one year Bibles, etc. but perhaps this goes a bit too far. [...]
