Everything That's On My Mind

Saturday, October 21, 2006

I don't watch much PBS TV. Based on this video, maybe I should watch more. I particularly appreciated the second segment with Greg Boyd. I know it's an hour-long video, but it's worth it.

I feel I need to qualify this posting. I certainly don't agree with all of Boyd's theology, but I think he makes some good points in this video. It troubles me a bit that I feel this way, because I could say the same thing about Rick Warren and nearly everyone else I quote or every book I recommend. I don't want to publish a "doctrinal purity" scale for every recommendation I make, but I also don't want to be misunderstood. I honestly need to think more about how to handle this kind of thing. I hope my faithful readers will agree that we can learn from people even when we don't agree with them 100%.

I was just asked to review a book that takes a completely different stance on the whole Chrisitan nation thing - you know, where they believe America was blessed and is now under a curse because it has moved from God; and that it is a Christian nation that needs to come back to God. I told the editor that in good conscience I could not read it without bias because I don't believe in that doctrine. And then I found this in your blog! I am going to have to buy the book now!
