| Posted 6/5/2002 5:05 AM (GMT -6) |   | Hi all. I do not post here very often, but I wonder if anyone would be interested in a couple of book discussions. The first is Across the Spectrum by Greg Boyd & Paul Eddy.
The second is A Faith for All Seasons : Historic Christian Belief in Its Classical Expression.
I am preparing to teach a class in Christian Theology at Bethel College in the fall and interaction with members of this group would help me in this process.
I'll look forward to your replies
Greg

| Posted 6/5/2002 11:59 AM (GMT -6) | | Ok. I have only scanned "Across the Spectrum." I think the book presents cogently and clearly, the issues at hand. Awesome. I'd buy the book. However, here is where I think the book is weak. On the back of the cover it states:
"Across the Spectrum, written by Gregory A. Boyd and Paul R. Eddy, offers a service to students by carefully examining the various positions taken by evangelical scholars on eighteen seminal issues both classic concerns and those of more contemporary interest. Rather than taking sides, however, the authors give readers the resources they need to explore evangelical theological options."
It may defeat the purpose of a book that is trying to "just present issues" or "both sides" to "beginners" but why shouldn't the authors "take sides" (especially because it is geared toward "babes in Christ" or beginning theological students)? Basically, it seems to me that the least the authors could do is state a little of where and why they stand on such issues. Ultimately, is not orthopraxis the purpose of theology? Huh? Huh?
It seems to me that with the separating of theology into distinctions and categories (this over here theology and this over there, is practice), that unbeknownst to us, we have to some extent, catered to secular Enlightment dichotomist habits.
Go Wings!!! Just a little plug.

sorry this has nothing to do with the topic, but I was thinking that maybe we should start a debate on which sport is most geared for intellectual activity. I have become convinced that baseball is, with all the strategy and mind games involved. What do you think? Maybe we should start a seperate post on this.
