At a recent church leadership conference, I heard an author criticize those who believe in propositional truth.
This speaker built a straw man and then tore it down with arrogance and a dismissive spirit.
He even made a comment something like, “Those who teach and believe this stuff are misguided, misplaced, and downright wrong.” He accused those who believe in propositional truth of making propositions and then beating the (heck) out of people. Interestingly, he used propositions to make his point.
On the other hand, I’m reading a refreshing book, Deep Church-a Third Way Beyond Emerging and Traditional, by a guy named Jim Belcher. He graciosly uncovers the weaknesses of both traditional foundationalists and extreme emergents as well as drawing out the best from each.
I look forward to delving deeper into Deep Church. It would be a great book to add to your library.
