Afterthought
Puritan Board Senior
I'm currently restudying the issue. Especially for those who changed their minds, what resources do you recommend? What resources did you find most helpful? I am not so interested in the hermeneutics of the question right now (e.g., How should science constrain our interpretations of Scripture? Are our interpretations just scientific, human models of Scriptural data? etc.). Instead, I am interested in what the Bible says and teaches and what it does not say and what it does not teach (although I do realize such is related to heremenutical questions as the above, there seems to me to be a difference in approach between "Scripture cannot say this cause it contradicts scientific findings, so we must interpret it in this way" and "Scripture says this and that because the text says this and that.").
Since I went somewhat deep into the OEC side at one point, I'd be more interested in "intermediate" or "advanced" resources, rather than beginning resources that don't really interact with serious challenges to the position, simplify things too much, or just repeat unhelpful comments on the debate without sound argumentation to back it up.
