But he chose not to. His latest ARP Talk document criticizes Dr. Burnett’s recent document for – of all things – length. And I predicted it would be lambasted for grammar (I guess he couldn’t find any errors). This may be the first time anybody theological has been criticized for writing too much.
Odd though – there’s not much difference between Evans’ and Burnett’s documents in length! Consider:
A Layman's Historical Guide to the Inerrancy Debate,
by Dr. Evans:
5074 words (not including "further reading" section)
Rebuttal to Dr. Burnett's article: 1682 words
A Teacher’s Theological Guide to Inerrancy In The Original Manuscripts, by Dr. Burnett
10543 words
Difference between Dr. Evans and Dr. Burnett: 3787 words
So Burnett’s "interminably long" paper is 3787 words longer than Dr. Evan’s combined statements on inerrancy? I always pictured “interminably” as, like, “endless.” New definition: a couple of newspaper editorials. Or, part of an ARP Talk issue.
