You are going to think that all I read in Radner but a point I think he makes very well in his book is how little we ask if the church has every taught anything different than what we accept as the "traditional" argument. Nation would have been served to frame his case from history that way because I've never heard a response from others on that question. Of side interest might be O'Donovan's "sermons" on this subject: http://www.fulcrum-anglican.org.uk/page.cfm?ID=130 I would be interested to hear your thoughts on what he has to say.
