| Interesting interview. Hart is definitely one of the most erudite Christians out there...he was very honest in this interview with his personal questions and frustrations with the church...very interesting. | |

| And just who determined that Mr. Hart is one of America's brightest theologians? Sounds a lot like Hezekiah 66:777, "He who tooteth not his own horn; his horn will not be tooted." | |

| Vaughn, you'll notice that Hart did not refer to himself as one of America's brightest theologians, so he is not tooting his own horn. In fact, his horn has been tooted by many, including these folks here at CPX. | |

| Vaugh, the assertion is based on "The Beauty of the Infinite" rather than more popular recent books. | |

| Please take the cheesy music off these videos. | |

| I like interviews having some musical intro and outro - perhaps it just misfits the mood a little (very positive when the tone of the interview is more serious, with questions that are pretty significant when they cease to be theory and become reality) | |
