Agree/Disagree: Are We Really Protecting Our Theology?
I agree...
This is no time for despair. We don’t need to reinvent the church but to rediscover it, for the church is God’s creation. This is no time to abandon theology but to drill down deeper to take every thought, and every social imaginary, captive to Christ. The local church is the place to cultivate biblical literacy, to learn what every Christian needs to know to represent Christ and his kingdom.
...BUT...
I am convinced the desire to protect our theology gives us an excuse to ignore how our theology is rooted in and infected by our worldview, our ethnicity, our economic condition, whether our personality leans left or right. Taking every thought captive to Christ includes our biblical interpretations and applications.
This is not a veiled push for radical liberalism; it is a plea to recognize the dangers in both liberal and conservative perspectives.
