What are your thoughts on the answer to that “followup question”?
I’ve previously suggested of GAE:
Would you disagree with this assessment?
I’ve had little direct contact with Biologos, but have heard from some on this forum that they consider Biologos’ views to be insufficiently theological orthodox to garner a large following among more conservative Christians. Who would you consider they have the greatest potential to “help”?
I’ve read J&JW. My thoughts on the book are on this thread, and it had considerable impact on me – but then I was already highly uneasy about American Christian Nationalism. I’m not sure that the book would have the same impact on somebody who was immersed in that culture, and therefore sees it as ‘normal’.
I think that the book would be of help to Evangelicals trying to find out how they went wrong – but probably only after they have come to a realisation that they have lost their way. Is there another way that this book might help?
That is not to say that I think that these aren’t helpful, just that it seems more likely that a multiplicity of answers to a wide range of idiosyncratic questions might be more helpful than the ‘One Big Answer’.
I wonder if there are any common themes to these stories. Whether it was some grand apologetic that split their world asunder, or questions and doubts that created small cracks in their worldview, that let the wider world leak in.
