Some people take theology seriously. Some people think the doctrine of Justification is important. And then there’s Karen Swallow Prior and her woefully undiscerning sycophants at the Southern Baptist pastors’ blog, SBC Voices. They, apparently, think Protestantism is mock-worthy. Karen Swallow Prior tweeted out earlier today a happy celebratory update about her book, On Reading … Read more
