Well, I read the comment stream much to my dismay. I wonder how many out there really believe that the preachers who go "verse by verse" and "book by book" are really preaching only God's word and not their own interpretation. I am reminded that my job teaching undergrads and how to interpet the Bible in the course I teach on Biblical interp is so vitally important. I do not intend to turn out students who are so woefully misguided and lack self critical anaylsis. I am really at a loss for words and a bit more depressed now about the whole thing.
May God help us. Please pray for those who teach undergrads at Baptist schools around the country. They have their work cut out for them.

I am reminded of the kind of eisegesis found in W. A. Criswell's famous sermon on Daniel's friends--"How the Critics Fare in the Fiery Furnace"--with no historical background or scriptural information, only an attack on those who practiced every form of historical-critical studies. I wonder if that is what Mohler has in mind.
