Michael: The link is malformed. Easy enough to correct the problem by hand, but still ...
It's a long time now since I've read Carson, for various reasons. But I have to say I was impressed by the line "Most of us, I suspect, muddle along with a merely intuitive sense of how these twin biblical heritages ought to shape our lives": an ordinary enough sentiment, but I think very necessary in this kind of discussion. It's hard to treat this both-kinds-of-language point analytically, without becoming either distorted or trite. The acknowledgement that we can manage nonetheless, without necessarily being able to give a full account of it, is important.
