But I think I'd rather be laughed out of a room than have to do theology on these grounds.<BR/><BR/>In other words, liberalism is, simply, the desire to be taken seriously by the academy and the willingness to find an apologetic that is relevant to the culture. <BR/><BR/>Well, those two things sound like most evangelicals, don't they? That's because we're only ever a hair's breadth away from making the same mistake as the continental liberals: wanting more desperately to speak TO our cultured despisers than ABOUT Jesus Christ.<BR/><BR/>I will have to think more about this and write another post...

However, I'm struck that <I>divinitas</I>, with both theology and piety, is included as an area of knowledge, when it is typically excluded as "knowledge" by the modern academy. I've even seen "theology" defined as "the study of theologians." <BR/><BR/>I'm thinking about this right now because Dallas Willard spoke on this topic at this year's Faculty Conference, as part of his theme, "Spiritual Formation in the Academy." (Great title, eh?) Shameless plug: I'll be posting mp3s of his talks at facultyministry.org in the coming weeks.Michealhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05082483107982001471noreply@blogger.com
