Cultivating the Virtues of Good Theology
I highly recommend this essay by John H. Armstrong of Reformation and Revival Ministries.
Here’s an excerpt:
There is not a single word in the entire Bible that suggests, as an example of my point here, that right definitions of theological terms and subjects makes one a true Christian. This doesn’t mean right definitions are irrelevant. It does mean that to make them the sine qua non of active faith is a huge paradigm mistake. And it is one often made by modern reformers.
The second to the last paragraph (before “Our Letters to the Editor Policy”) has particular relevance to the recent flap involving the writing of the Internet Monk.

My apologies if this sounds negative in any way…but your theology really is changing, isn’t it?

Well put.

Steve:
I don’t think my basic theology has changed so much as my way of looking at theological discussion and how it is carried out, our attitude toward those who differ from us.
