Yesterday I mentioned Stephen Webb’s review of Behe’s The Edge of Evolution for Christianity Today‘s web site. A while back I wrote a review of Behe’s book on this blog, which I also posted at Amazon.com, where it also led to some discussion.

Books like Hosea and Jeremiah that use the metaphor of Israel and Judah [...]
