The Sensuous Christian – Here’s a quote from R.C. Sproul. It tells about a book he’s almost written several times.

    If You Had Written the Bible

    Have you ever thought about what the Bible would be like if you had been in charge of writing or editing it? Whatever you would do, I am quite certain you would end up with something that would bear far more resemblance to a systematic theology text than the Bible we hold in our hands…
