Ken Schenck has been blogging through the book I (Still) Believe: Leading Bible Scholars Share Their Stories of Faith and Scholarship<\/a> $\"\"$ <\/i>, about the personal faith journeys of academics in the field of Biblical studies.\u00a0Since Ken has reached the chapter by our doctoral supervisor, James D. G. Dunn<\/a>, I thought I would\u00a0now draw attention to the series. He has also blogged about the chapters by Walter Bruggemann<\/a>, Richard Bauckham<\/a>, Ellen Davis<\/a>, and Gordon Fee<\/a>.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m planning to read the book, but when it arrived in the mail, my wife started reading it and hasn\u2019t stopped since, and so I will just have to wait my turn\u2026<\/p>\n
