| N.T. Wright. Chapter 15. The Truth of the
Gospel and Christian Living. "Worship and mission together create a context for the development of Christian living which holds together, within the person and the community, four different areas of Christian experience. I summarize these areas under the following headings: spirituality, theology, politics, and healing. I need to say something about each of these, showing where and how it relates to the Jesus I have described." |
|
| Marcus Borg. Chapter 16. A Vision of the
Christian Life. "... being Christian is not about believing, but about a relationship with the God who is sacramentally mediated to us through the Christian tradition in a comprehensive sense of the word: the Bible, the gospels, Jesus himself, and the worship and practices of our life together in Christian community." |

| The New Scarlet Letter. Click HERE for article from Christianity Today by Vincent Bacote. posted 11/10/00. Excerpts: "Fundamentalist. Just saying the word evokes any number of negative responses..." "Although fundamentalist has become an epithet for intolerance, the origin of what we call fundamentalism is hardly that odious. Fundamentalist is a title taken by people who, reacting to the rising hegemony of rationalism and scientific approaches to the Bible and theology (i.e., secularism), stated what they believed were the essentials of orthodoxy: Christ's Virgin Birth, his bodily resurrection, his substitutionary Atonement, the inerrancy of Scripture, and miracles. " "I am not a fundamentalist, and I am not looking to become one (though my confessing Jesus as the Way, the Truth, and the Life is enough for many outside evangelical circles to call me one). My taste in music and my desire to interpret and shape culture as a theologian likely would cause me untold grief in the more conservative corners of the church. Nevertheless, I acknowledge without hesitation that fundamentalists are a part of my Christian family and they deserve my understanding and respect." Vincent Bacote is a visiting professor of theology at Wheaton College in Illinois. |
