I went into reading it the same as you - it's a novel, enjoy it for what it is, and was pleasantly surprised by the narrative and couldn't put it down. I think it's a powerful book and hopefully can bring some hope and healing to those who need to see the Trinity in a little different way. I like different! Thanks Christoph - always a pleasure to hear your insight!<br /> Shannon Loved your critical analysis of The Shack.

]]> Comment on Should Evangelicals Embrace or Resist Postmodernism? by Andrew Potter http://www.christophoros.de/2009/02/should-evangelicals-embrace-or-resist-po/#comment-45 Andrew Potter Fri, 13 Feb 2009 13:43:26 +0000 http://www.christophoros.de/2009/02/should-evangelicals-embrace-or-resist-po/#comment-45 Now that I've think thought about it some more. The two are not as distinct as a supposed. When PM is prevalent in everyday society one has no choice but to embrace or resist with a possible third option namely "ignore".

To embrace postmodernism implies (in my understanding) an acknowledgment of correctness and an adoption of viewpoints within evangelical theology/practice. To resist is to do the opposite.<br /> <br /> To me this is different than a realization that PM has become highly influential in the west and that as Christians we need to be informed about and engage it.

]]> Comment on The Spirit, the Text and the Reader by Brad http://www.christophoros.de/2008/04/the-spirit-the-text-and-the-reader/#comment-39 Brad Mon, 26 May 2008 14:11:03 +0000 http://www.christophoros.de/2008/04/the-spirit-the-text-and-the-reader/#comment-39 Christoph - this is an excellent post. i find myself wrestling with a lot of these issues, not just on a personal level, but in the classes i teach, particularly hermeneutics. i think you're right, though, on several fronts: pentecostalism should be a natural fit for (some) postmodern readings, but its alliance with modern evangelicalism/fundamentalism is a hindrance. (you're right on the theology textbook issue as well -we struggle with that here but have few alternatives.) <br /> The same for your thoughts on historical enquiry and boundaries of interpretation: it seems we are in a position to enjoy both the freedom from the tyranny of authorial intention while getting the benefits of general historical and cultural background.<br /> <br /> ok, i'm just repeating everything you said now! i'll quit there... <br /> <br /> How is the research coming? Looking forward to seeing how this all take shapes. Maybe a helpful hermeneutics textbook in the future?!?

ok, i’m just repeating everything you said now! i’ll quit there…

How is the research coming? Looking forward to seeing how this all take shapes. Maybe a helpful hermeneutics textbook in the future?!?
