<< Greetings:
The more senior members of this list will (may) remember the storm that was
raised with the publication of Bernard Ramm's The Christian View of Science
and Scripture (London: Paternoster, 1955). Many would testify that it helped
them move them from a wooden-literalistic view of the Bible. Ramm wrote on
the same theme 14 years later as "The relation of Science, Factual
Statements and the Doctrine of Biblical Inerrancy," Journal of the American
Scientific Affiliation 21 (December 1969): 98-104.
The article is now available at

Vintage Ramm - his advice still stands!

I have a question about Ramm. As I understand it, his early book (The
Christian View of Science and Scripture) derived from his lectures at Biola
(in a course whose previous lecturer was Harry Rimmer, if I remember
correctly!). Later Ramm's theology moved in a decidedly Barthian direction,
but I've never heard how or if that move affected his views as expressed in
The Christian View...
Anyone out there care to comment?
