YouTube – Tremper Longman III – Is There A Historical Adam – Part 12.

This guy has been teaching at Westminster Theological Seminary for eighteen years?  Please tell me he left because of this.

There is no way this is remotely “Reformed.”  It isn’t responsible with the text at all.  It basically assumes that the Bible is about concepts and ideas when it is actually a history book.  Yes.  It is.  It says so.  That’s why it has genealogies and counts years.

I would rather read Voltaire or Mencken than hear this garbage.  Actually, I do read Voltaire and Mencken out of admiration and for fun.  I suppose I may have suffered through some parts of a Longman commentary when I was forced to do so.

Honestly, does Longman sound like the description of Machen or his enemies in Mencken’s obituary?

And no, when I first wrote this blog after seeing the video, there was no S in my title for it.  I caught myself in time.
