I appreciate that your article was not as unbalanced as it sounded from the title. However, it would have been nice to hear you present some evidence of his “jackassery,” because the article largely relies on vague paraphrases, and all we have is your angry-sounding interpretations of things. I don’t mean to criticize, but after reading your article I don’t feel like I know anything more about Driscoll.

Bob,
I just moved to Seattle myself and have found myself in the same conundrum. Ive spent the past few weeks attending Bethany Community Church and really love it. The pastor is probably a little “limp wristed” for Driscoll’s taste. But he’s a very intelligent man who manages to keep his pulse on culture while humbly (that’s the key for me) preaching some really convicting stuff. As a result, Bethany is growing almost as fast as Mars Hill. You should give it a visit : http://churchbcc.org

Thank you for acknowledging his rather anti-women type of views, I guess I didn’t read the book, and your answer makes sense. thanx

Specifically, I believe Mark Driscoll mentions past mistakes in his sermon on Idolatry in the 1 & 2 Peter series.

I must say, in addition, that Burnside Writers have been an instructive and valuable resource for me and I am really enjoying the new website.

God Bless.

Matthew, I should have been a little more clear. You were pointed, but polite, although I would say that some of Driscoll’s other defenders haven’t afforded me the same courtesy. So be it.

I’ll check out one of Driscoll’s more recent sermons sometime. Still, it’s not really a nuance problem with the chapter of the book on humor, as far as I’m concerned. He is brazenly unapologetic for his behavior, although certainly when books usually have a year turn around time, things might have changed recently.
