I won't claim that I fully agree with every point that Sparks makes in God's Words in Human Words (GWHW)--he tackles many issues and makes a lot of points--but I think he elucidates what is--in my opinion--a wonderfully robust post-modern hermeneutic. He has managed to embrace Biblical criticism and post-modern literary theory while, I believe, remaining orthodox. The book left me feeling more intellectually and spiritually satisfied than I have in a long time--high praise, I know.

One of my favourite sentences from the book:
"Any good epistemology will need to explain why common sense seems to work so well; but it will also need to contend with the fact that common sense is that innate capacity by which we infer that the earth is flat."
