The desperate apologiae I hear from right-leaning Evangelicals make me sad. I haven't left Christianity behind, but I have untangled it from the political packaging I grew up with. Studying historic Christianity (and eventually teaching Church History) gradually alienated me from the blend of Revivalist culture, Fundamentalist doctrine, and Right Wing politics that pervaded my young life. 1/

幾秒內	Carey Vinzant careyvinzant	I first called myself a Post-Evangelical thirteen years ago in a seminary class I was teaching. I only found out later how much alarm that caused, even though I had clearly said "Evangelical has become a political word now. I don't want to be associated with that." Being passionate about living in sync with 2000ish years of Christian tradition sounds great, right? Not to people who are determined to defend their sectarian views, no matter how wrong or how thoroughly they have been debunked. 2/
17 小時內	Helge Moulding hazelfriends	"I don't believe the Bible is in error" - I don't know where you teach/taught but given that the Bible is a cultural construct created by men who were dealing with very real political pressures 1700 years ago or so, and they created it from a compilation of other works that each had their own politics, what do you mean by this statement?
