Our theology is still in a time of crisis, and I think this will last for some years more.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
There is too much theology in the Church now, and too little of the Gospel.
A theology should be like poetry, which takes us to the end of what words and thoughts can do.
All theological lore is becoming distasteful to me.
Maybe it's time to go back 2,000 years for a spiritual renaissance. If not, our days may be numbered and a terrible implosion is coming. There is no more middle ground. It is one or the other.
Let us put theology out of religion. Theology has always sent the worst to heaven, the best to hell.
The imminent demise of the church has been predicted since the middle of the 18th century. This is the regular secular mantra if churchgoing declines. I could take you to plenty of churches that are full to bursting and new churches being built.
At present, too much theological thinking is very human-centered.
The church which ceases to be evangelistic will soon cease to be evangelical.
I'm grateful for the evangelical resurgence we've seen across the world in the last half-century or so. It truly has been God's doing.
Christianity, with or without its whole apparatus of dogma, will endure in its essence for thousands of years after us; there will always be spiritually-minded people who will be ennobled by it, and some made great.
