I whole-heartedly concur. While I buy in to the whole pre-sup arguement in that I refuse to argue my faith and know that I can't force anyone into seeing my worldview, I also don't buy it in that I think there is a way to communicate the truths about the Bible and God and faith, and do so on a practical level on a regualr basis.

I also totally agree with your approach to reading him - that's basically all I've done in Practical Theology this year... or in fact, ANY of my subjects. A bad attitude, but I thought surviving was a more important goal, generally.
