Three years ago this month I blogged about a seminar that the gifted OT department at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School gave on this book:
Kenton L. Sparks. God’s Word in Human Words: An Evangelical Appropriation of Critical Biblical Scholarship. Grand Rapids: Baker, 2008.
Kent Sparks himself commented on that blog post 23 times throughout three pages of direct and sometimes intense comments (pages 1 | 2 |3).
I’m grateful that next week a scholarly book-length response comes out:
James K. Hoffmeier and Dennis R. Magary, eds. Do Historical Matters Matter to Faith? A Critical Appraisal of Modern and Postmodern Approaches to Scripture. Wheaton: Crossway, 2012. 
Nearly twenty people endorsed it.
Related: “Scripture: How the Bible Is a Book Like No Other,” in Don’t Call It a Comeback: The Old Faith for a New Day 
(ed. Kevin DeYoung; Wheaton: Crossway, 2011), 59–69.
Thanks for linking back to the original discussion. I had missed it.
In light of Enns’ latest book, I felt sad for the commenter who posted three years ago, “On a personal note, it’s men like Pete Enns and Kent Sparks that have helped me hold onto my faith.”
Are you saying, JD, that it’s an occasion for sadness when people who can’t believe in fundamentalism find good reasons to believe in Jesus?
That’s one way to interpret my comment. Another way is that it is an occasion for sadness when Christians are led away from the view of scripture held by Christ and the apostles (and most Christians). The revelation in scripture is adequate to show us that Christ and the apostles never said the kinds of things you are saying about the scriptures, though they had ample opportunity.
