In short, there are literally *dozens* of such groups out there. (Two
obvious places to start looking are the soc.religion and talk.religion
usenet hierarchies.)
The unusual (and rare) aspect of B-Greek (and a [very] small handful other
like-minded lists) is that it attempts to keep the discussion focused on a
scholarly approach to these issues.
An issue that often comes up (an I'm not suggesting that Craig is
attempting to do this) is the accusation that by attempting to keep such
discussion tightly (or not so tightly ;-) focused that certain topics are
being censored or suppressed. This could hardly be farther from the truth.
Those who seek full blown theological --of whatever stripe-- discussion,
need only look around to find as much discussion of these topics as anyone
could possibly ever want. The only request here is that this group be
allowed, in its own (tiny) corner of the world, to try something a little
different.
