Three reasons
On the surface, Robert Webber’s book “The Younger Evangelicals” appears to be a good reference for church growth and ministry. But a deeper look into its contents from a biblical perspective provides me with three reasons why I should not waste my precious time reading it and using it to form my ecclesiology:
- his rejection of propositional truth
- his rejection of Scriptural inerrancy
- his de-centralization of the objective Word of God
Thanks for the heads up, Dr. Gilbert!
I’m deeply saddened that so many postmodern Christians say to me through their supposed peity that they love darkness more than light. For that’s the impression I get when they promote taize worship, lectio divinia, the creative arts, contemplative this and mysterious that. If they would rather encourage me to following the living word of Christ in written word of Godwith a balance of his incarnation and exaltation… I would be much happier!
But since these guys believe that we aren’t even supposed to understand what the Bible precisely means, I’m left in a puddle of mud trying to figure out what they mean when they say anything at all.
Looking forward to a glorious Palm Sunday with Christ crucified at the forefront of my mind.
