    Howard, always asking the deep questions, posed these on June 17:

    "How many on this list think of your set of Christian beliefs as an
    axiomatic
    system derived from an authoritative text?"

    After reflection, I would only say that the above is true for part of my
    set of Christian beliefs, but not all the set.

    "How many on this list would identify "derivable from the designated
    authoritative text" as one of the primary evaluation criteria for the
    evaluation of theological theories?"

    I would have to assent to that much and more -- I would say not "one of
    the primary" but "the primary.".
