Old "Puff Piece" on Sullivan's Dog from La Crosse Tribune Newspaper

   I did the best I could to keep the resolution on the picture high so that people may see this. It's from way back in the day. I must have been a high school junior at the time. I blotted out the contact phone number for booking, suffice to say our drummer's home phone number was included in the original article!

I have better arguments than your arguments for Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy

     I'm working on a blog post for the Reformer where I will defend Mosaic authorship of Deuteronomy (meaning I will defend the fact that Moses wrote it).  It should be a fairly thorough series of posts to first dismantle opposing scholarship on the point, and then provide the positive case for Mosaic authorship. It breaks my heart that anyone could read Deuteronomy, especially after they study and test the veracity of Genesis through Numbers, and end up concluding somehow that Moses was not the main contributor (so that is not to say there were not other redactors involved in the writing.

I just wanted to get the word out. A more thorough analysis is defi
