Conn on the Danger of an Acultural Propositionalization of Revelation
Posted on November 8th, 2008 by peteenns
Have we propositionalized revelation into an acultural vacuum? Can our confidence in the “bearing along” work of the Spirit (2 Peter 1:21) lift the Bible up, over, and around human cultures without ever going through those cultures? What do we mean by anthropomorphism in revelation? Is this theological category ultimately a missional method of God himself? There is always the danger that the gospel truth will be lost in cultures….At the same time, is there not also the danger that cultures will be lost in the gospel truth? (Eternal Word & Changing Worlds, p. 215)
