A couple of days ago I was in a local bookshop where I picked up "The Surprising Work of God" by Jonathan Edwards really cheaply. Surprised at the price, the lady behind the till checked the publisher and then knowingly nodded; "Whitaker House," she said, and so I asked her why the publisher was relevant. She continued, explaining to me that Whitaker House worked hard to publish books cheaply (the cover threw her off because it looked too fancy to be a Whitaker House book), although they don't use much discretion in what they publish. So, in search of a good deal, I decided to visit the Whitaker House website which is where I discovered this interesting advert.
For a few months I have been considering writing something brief on a remarkably popular line of reasoning that is often employed and yet, utterly fallacious. I began thinking about writing this after proofreading an essay for someone at college who made this mistake. I began actually typing stuff out after John MacArthur did it.
Hebrew authors, it seems, have a propensity towards the prodigious use of direct speech but rarely reported speech and it seems clear that they were willing to summarise conversations into little speech bubble type reports which they recorded in direct speech.
