Would that all our theological sparring partners could speak this way about us! <\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cPiper is in a different category. He graciously sent me an advance manuscript of his book which is critiquing me and invited my comments on it. I sent him a lengthy set of comments. I\u2019ve only just got on email about two days ago the book in the revised form and I haven\u2019t had a chance to look at it yet. So I cannot say whether he\u2019s being fair or not at this stage.<\/p>\n<p>But I do know that he has done his darndest to be fair and I honor that and I respect that. People have asked me if I\u2019m going to write a response, and the answer is that I don\u2019t know. I\u2019m kind of busy right now.
