Content:

In a minimum of 400 words, post to the Discussion Area your responses to each of the following:

Americans tend toward individualism. The plethora of denominations gives witness to the tendency to divide over issues (often relatively trivial) rather than work out differences between disagreeing parties. Discuss your church/denominational experience with reference to the unity of the Body of Christ.

Neo-Orthodoxy represented a frontal assault on a century of Protestant liberal theology that discredited liberal denials of historic Christian Orthodoxy; yet, in America, it was widely decried as a new form of liberalism. Over the past generation, conservative evaluation of Karl Barth’s perspective among evangelicals has changed radically. His reception in America was originally hostile, but today, he is regarded as a defender of historic Orthodoxy.

Discuss the Neo-Orthodox concept of revelation and biblical authority comparing and contrasting it with your own understanding. What do you find helpful? What do you find troubling? Why?
