I appreciate Ryrie's writings, but a lot of people seem to demonize him because they disagree with some of his teachings. I'm glad that you can sift through the good and the bad for yourself.Shawn Abigailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09810173103807948064noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33237905.post-57552264469665429682008-06-16T15:24:00.000-05:002008-06-16T15:24:00.000-05:00shawn: LOL!!

You might be 'encouraged' to also know:<BR/><BR/>1) I carry a Ryrie Study Bible (NAS)--have since about 1982.<BR/><BR/>2) DH graduated from DTS, but Ryrie had already left the faculty by then.<BR/><BR/>3) I purposely read Ryrie in hopes of maintaining some sort of 'balance' to they other sys. theo.s I favor--Berkhof (too covenantal for me) and Grudem (too charismatic for me).<BR/><BR/>4) There was a time when Ryrie was the strongest "Calvinist" I was familiar with! :-)Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388126339087271102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33237905.post-66541538779708798652008-06-16T06:15:00.000-05:002008-06-16T06:15:00.000-05:00Well, if you're reading Ryrie I'm encouraged.
