[Colby Kleinsasser · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book is a well structured discussion of specific issues surrounding the question named in the title. Each contributor wrote a 50-page position paper, 8-page response to the other contributors’ papers, and a final conclusion paper after a 2-day conference to discuss the topic.

Each contributor explain their view as thoroughly as the page constraints allowed and provide ample biblical evidence for their position. My initial reaction is that I’m left wanting more (which could be both good and bad). I think they were hindered by the scope of the project which limited the depth and very specific questions they were able to dig into.

Something commendable about this project is that amidst the vast differences amongst their views, the unity as brothers and sisters in Christ underpins the contributors’ work.

Post reading, I’m left wanting to gather all the biblical evidence and write my own position paper as well.
