Welcome to Part 4 of my book analysis of Dan McClellan’s book, The Bible Says So. Let’s just jump right back into Chapter 6 and see how far we get in this post. 6: The Bible Says God Had a WifeThe issue regarding whether or not the Bible says God had a wife is easy…
Welcome to Part 3 of my book analysis of Dan McClellan’s book, The Bible Says So. Let’s just jump right back into Chapter 3 and see how far we get in this post. 3: The Bible Says God Created the Universe Out of NothingEleven years ago, I was dealing with a certain fundamentalist YECist headmaster…
As I go through The Bible Says So by Dan McClellan, I will essentially be having a “conversation” with it—a running commentary, if you will. Now, there are 19 chapters in the book, so there is no way I will be able to provide a completely in-depth analysis of every chapter without ending up writing…
Over the next couple of weeks, I am going to write an extended book analysis of Dan McClellan’s new book, The Bible Says So. In all honesty, I fear that I am not going to enjoy writing it. I also fear I might get snarky at times. I have occasionally written about various videos McClellan…

We now come to my final post in my book analysis of Nigel Biggar’s Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning. In this post, I am going to fly through chapters 6-8 and then give my reflections and thoughts on the book as a whole, as well as what I feel are the underlying issues that have made…
Here in Part 5 of my book analysis of Nigel Biggar’s Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, I am primarily going to cover chapter 5 of his book, “Cultural Assimilation and ‘Genocide,’” in which, among other things, he discusses the Canadian residential schools. The issue of these residential schools has been a major flashpoint of controversy on…
At this point in my book analysis of Nigel Biggar’s Colonialism: A Moral Reckoning, in this post, I’m going to provide brief overviews of both Chapter 3 (“Human Equality, Cultural Superiority, and Racism”) and Chapter 4 (“Land, Settlers, and Conquest”). I want to write no more than two posts after this one. Chapter 3: Human…
