I was streaming yesterday Carl Trueman talking about inerrancy and the Reformers (at least that is what he was talking about when I listened). He was talking about Martin Luther and mentioned twice Luther drinking beer. The second time he told a quick joke about Luther at a pub drinking a pint… Trueman then stopped, said “that didn’t get the response I usually get” [from a pro-drinking alcohol crowd]. I was trying to decide if he planned it, because he seemed a little embarrassed for a while.
He then shared a story of teaching at a school in Romania. On the first morning he told the same story. The silence was palpable. He found out that you could be expelled from the school for drinking! He said there is nothing like messing up big at 930am on a Monday when you have a conference that lasts until 5pm Friday!
So far I have caught a few of the lectures. I have enjoyed them but I was surprised they didn’t mention the Licona stuff yet. At least not with what I have heard.

… chuckling… Nobody is 100% immune to groupthink. It’s so easy to forget—and even easier to not understand—that there are good, intelligent, godly people who see some sensitive topics quite differently (and passionately so) than you do.
