The Evangelical Left: Encountering Postconservative Evangelical Theology
4.60 out of 5 stars
Description
Erickson argues that these postconservatives have rejected the notion of an objective, absolute truth that is rooted in the authority of Scripture. Instead, they have adopted a more relativistic and pragmatic approach to theology, which emphasizes the importance of personal experience and the role of the community in shaping theological understanding. Erickson asserts that this shift away from a commitment to objective truth has significant implications for the nature of theology and the practice of ministry.
Millard Erickson pinpoints a new theological movement in evangelicalism, which he claims has abandoned the fundamental tenets of conservative evangelicalism, embracing a postconservative stance. In this shift, objective, absolute truth rooted in scriptural authority is jettisoned in favor of a more relativistic, pragmatic theology, where personal experience and communal input shape theological understanding. Erickson warns that this drift from objective truth has far-reaching consequences for the very essence of theology and the practice of ministry.
