My latest: why we shouldn’t pronounce God’s Name, in CT
A link to my latest column for Christianity Today.
I’m in Christianity Today this morning with a column called “The God Who Must Not Be Named.” It addresses the trend, bordering on a fad, of evangelical pastors and scholars pronouncing the Name of YHWH aloud. I sympathize with the reasons why they do so, but argue that they (and we) should not.
Hat tip to Kendall Soulen, whose fingerprints are all over this piece. And hat tip also to my local Sunday morning Bible class, who in May patiently heard a dress rehearsal of this argument when I kicked off a new series on John Mark Comer’s book on the Name.
