Perennialists and Digressers All,
A brief announcement: happy as always to report a new article over at Pop Culture and Theology, this time on Cobra Kai Season 4. I would also point out that Roberto De La Noval and I have put out our Call for Papers for the volume on Anime, Religion, and Theology announced just before the end of the year.
Εἰρήνη πᾶσι,
David
I can somewhat see your point, but I still am not sure if it fundamentally holds water at bottom. Part of the problem is modernism. I don't think it will ever be acceptable to call oneself a Christian and not believe in say the resurrection and/or divinity of Christ. Likewise Pelagianism will always be wrong even 200 million years from now. Traditionalists have a strong point here, that there are certain immutable truths here. And sure it's more important to follow Christ's commands than to assent to propositions but it would be best to do both I'd think. Practice and theory should enhance one another. Another topic is classical theism. All the ridiculous modern attempts at theistic personalism and process theology are doomed to failure. There is definitely something lost when we try to get with the times like Archbishop Spong. But I will say there are also errors when we live too much in the past. Virtue usually lies in the mean.
