My only hope is that the Word of God will penetrate his defenses somehow. He is reading his dad's KJV at my request, but his intellect is full of higher criticism, source criticism, form criticism, etc., and my lack of scholarship, inability to read Hebrew, etc. gives me no room to speak in his view. Do you think Floyd Nolen Jones would make a good impression on him? His resume looks impressive.

I am reading his Septuagint article now. Nice that his books are available as pdf downloads.
Prayer requested for my friend, and for me not to get too discouraged. This friend would make a great apologist for the truth if he comes around. There is just too much apostasy going on in this generation because of confusion about the Bible. The Atheist authors (Dawkins, Shermer, etc.) are having a field day stealing the best and brightest.
Shalom,
