Conversing With Reverend Tony Zekveld: Biblical God
Continuing with their discussion, Rev. Tony Zekveld and G.B. Singh had decided to write about the Biblical God. Rev. Zekveld has sent us an introductory article and he plans to conclude with another article, which will be published in the next issue of SikhSpectrum.com. Due to death of his mother in April 2005, G.B. Singh has not been able to send us his views on Biblical God, and his views will be published in the next issue together with the concluding part of Rev. Zekveld’s article. --Editors
