Equivocating the Equivocations: A Critique of Neil Shenvi’s Critique of Megan Basham’s “Shepherds for Sale”

Preface: Neil Shenvi recently added his contribution to the list of critics poking holes in Megan Basham’s wildly popular book, “Shepherd’s for Sale“. I am a BIG Neil Shenvi fan. I promote him often.
