1 min read

I recently completed a critical (by which I mean in-depth) study of Rick Warren’s The Purpose Driven Life. I went through each chapter of the book not only reading what he had to say but also looking up each and every Biblical proof-text he used (more than 1200 in all), paying special attention to his use of the Bible (since that is the greatest criticism of his detractors).

Some of this has been valid, fair and even necessary. As we would expect, some has been irrational, spiteful and borne of ignorance. When…
