Blowers’ final response…
Thanks to those of you who have presented well-reasoned or informed criticism. If you have connection with Emmanuel, I hope that we can have conversation some day about all this controversy. Again, to all who have nothing to do with Emmanuel, I have nothing more to say (and of course, the most insulting and outrageous things have come from those who have nothing to do with our seminary nor who know me personally).
Oh well. If you can’t answer the simple questions I asked, I guess turning tail is the best thing.
See the belly?
Joel L. Watts holds a Masters of Arts from United Theological Seminary with a focus in literary and rhetorical criticism of the New Testament. His interests include exploring the role of mimesis in human civilization, specifically in the study of religion and media, as well as science fiction and the way in which it has allowed mythology to be explored in light of scientific discoveries of the past century. He is the author of Mimetic Criticism of the Gospel of Mark: Introduction and Commentary (Wipf and Stock, 2013) and a co-editor and contributor to From Fear to Faith: Stories of Hitting Spiritual Walls (Energion, 2013).
