Roger Olson: Why I Wrote ‘Against Liberal Theology’
Body
“What most people don’t know is that liberal theology is a tradition; it is not just any type of theology that a person disagrees with because it seems too revisionist.” - Roger Olson
As iron sharpens iron,
one person sharpens another. (Proverbs 27:17)
“What most people don’t know is that liberal theology is a tradition; it is not just any type of theology that a person disagrees with because it seems too revisionist.” - Roger Olson
“In 2024, faithful evangelical publishers released hundreds of theologically orthodox and robustly biblical books. Though we still have work to do in defending Scripture from critical erosion, there’s now more intellectual space for theologians to explore narrower doctrinal topics with precision.” - TGC
“Both of us hold that humans are composed of soul and body but we emphasize different aspects of that dualist human constitution: Farris, the immaterial; I, the material.” - Christ Over All
“In one sense, talking about Jesus is easy. He’s our Savior and our redeemer. He’s the atoning sacrifice for sinners…. In another sense, talking about Jesus is dangerous, and sometimes people veer into heretical waters.” - Word by Word

As we move on to the “covenant of grace” one thing to look for is how passages explicitly assigned to the covenants one can locate in the Bible are reassigned to support this theological covenant, which can’t be located in the Bible.

“Phil Johnson … shared on social media that Pastor John MacArthur is currently receiving treatment for complications stemming from a heart valve replacement he received last year.” - C.Leaders
“Gavin Ortlund addresses Cameron Bertuzzi’s question at @CapturingChristianity about how we know the New Testament canon.” - YouTube
“Hubble made no claims about a creator, but his discoveries and the wonder they evoke have prompted others to reconsider ‘the God hypothesis.’” - RNS
“Of the three questions… the how question is the one where the most controversy has arisen. At the heart of the how question is the debate surrounding the creation days. Among evangelicals, there are four typical approaches.” - Kevin DeYoung
“Dan has asked … about certain passages in the New King James Version and modern English versions that he found to be troubling…. I want to give him a chance to express his concerns and I want to take an opportunity to try to answer them” - YouTube
