Good link.... I only wish people would write in English so everyone can understand what they're point is. I identify with a lot of what he said, but half of it I'm lost on, because I can't figure out what he said. How can we reach the lost, if we can't speak their language?

Dan, McKnight is a scholar and this article is written for people who are pretty-much already in the conversation and understand the lingo. Scot knows how to speak to the lost just fine, and if this article was for the lost he would have written very differently.

Nick, saw it. It's a bad choice for me, but it looks like he went on my picture and that guy's pic. Oh well.

Good article. I finally understand some of the facets of this movement. While I don't agree with the arguments against systematic theology I love the attention to orthopraxy. Personally speaking I'm pretty frustrated with the double-standard of "do as I say, not as I do" that seems to pervade our churches now-a-days.

Hi Steve, I really didn't like my selection either. Who would you have used?

Don't worry Kevin it's hard to capture looks that good on anyone's face.
