In the article, “Workmen or Captives? Avoiding the Snare of Subjectivity” Pastor Dave Harvey exposes some of the lies of the current popular feel-good approach to interpreting Scriptures, encouraging us to learn to handle the Word properly.

The Pneuma Review editorial committee has assembled a diverse panel to discuss the important topic of free-will and how beliefs about it affect our theology. Starting the discussion in the Spring 2002 issue will be Dr. Ken Archer, of Church of God Theological Seminary, Cleveland, Tennessee, presenting the openness theism perspective. In future issues you will see responses from charismatic Calvinists, classical Arminians, and those who say the free-will of man and complete sovereignty of God are compatible. Join us for this friendly dialogue and be deepened in your appreciation for brothers and sisters who have reached different conclusions on this important topic.
