Come on Pilgrim ,I didnt say church age.
YOU might not have used the exact term "church age", but to me it is identical to "parenthetical church age". And, Charles Ryrie also uses the term in the quote you provided; "So either or both words can be appropriately used to define the church age...".

No, I am not "really unfamiliar with the 'great parenthesis in history' as per DF".

I look forward to your forthcoming explanation of how the you see a relation between Open Theism and the "parenthetical church age". smile
