Studying the views of Jewish scholars, and Deists, liberals and secular scholars decimated my views of biblical authority, and convinced me that NT authors were utilizing the OT out of context. Recently even Peter Enns wrote a post about how Paul used OT passages out of context in Romans.
Also, the idea of being saved, and then having to find ways later to "save one's faith" from crumbling seems like a common theme that I have read about in the lives of Christians as diverse as N.T. Wright, Billy Graham, William Lane Craig, J.P. Moreland, Gary Habermas, C.S. Lewis, and others. I should write a post about it someday.
Congratulations, Anthony! Looking forward to this.
