Greetings to the readers who either visit this site or have it in their reads. I want to apologize for taking it down for a moment. Recently one of our Conn-versation contributors took a step back from the site for personal reasons, not because his opinions or thoughts were not greatly appreciated – they were.
When he stepped back from the site he inadvertently erased all of his posts and those posts that he had commented in as well. We find ourselves in a difficult place having lost literally some 40 posts and comment chains. Many of which contained the reflections and interactions of bibical scholars: Kent Spark, C. Bovell and more; and well known pastors such as Tim Keller; as well as church historians the likes of Darryl Hart. If any of you have these in your rss feeds please comment below and we will get in touch with you via your email.
Thank you for reading here, and with your help we hope to have these posts up and running again. In the interim those of you who read here please feel free to link to the contributors own blogsites in the links column of this page.

I have been reading Sparks book “God’s Word In Human Words”-what I read here this evening was helpful in me understanding Sparks position-I have felt uncomfortable with some of things Sparks has written-but I will keep reading-wish you had not lost those 40 comments etc. . . what I read was insightful-Jonny Keen

I have a word document of “Sparks on Evangelical Objections” down to to comment #85.
I’ll be online Monday morning, then away from the internet for a full week, so let me know if you need it and where to send it.

I got most of the threads from “Sparks on Evangelical Objections to Accomodation in Scripture” and “Another Question on Inerrancy” from my temporary internet files. I can send them if you’d like. Unfortunately, the responses to my last comments are missing(which saddens me because I didn’t get a chance to read them).

Does WordPress have an RSS feed for comments? If so, I’m fairly certain that all comments would still be available that way. Anyone subscribing to the blog via, say, Google Reader will have the text of all posts.

Carlos, thanks for the tip. I’ve grabbed the cache of the posts, but we’d love to have the comments back. That’s where the action is.
Do any of our readers have RSS feeds on comments threads where you might have been active?
If so, please post here, and we’ll be in touch!
Let me echo SnS’s regret about this. We deeply apologize.

Well, Google might have some of the papes cached. In fact, I just saw a few. Google the names of the posts or the topics along with the names of the contributors and they’ll come up. Better get on it soon, though, if you want to recover them before they change. Maybe you guys can capture some of the info contained on the cached pages and integrate them into the site. Recovering the comment threads will be a little trickier.
