					<description><![CDATA[In 1984 I interviewed for a position teaching theology at Bethel College and Seminary (now Bethel University) in St. Paul, Minnesota. I was shown the denomination’s and institution’s statement of faith (doctrinal statement) and asked if I could sign it. It included belief that the Bible is without error in the original autographs. I balked [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Deconstructing Evangelicalism What is “deconstruction,” anyway?  Well, I’ve been reading a lot about that, and it turns out it’s not at all what I was told.  It’s not “destruction” but rather has a positive agenda–to expose idols for what they are and help institutions and movements (etc.) improve themselves by becoming more open, more just [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Everyone in America has heard of James Talarico by now. He is the relatively young, openly Christian, seminary-educated, Texas legislator running for the US Senate as a Democrat. He wears his Christian faith on his sleeve, so to speak, no hiding it or keeping it quiet. Most have not heard yet of Adam Hamilton, pastor [&#8230;]]]></description>

The year was 1985 and I was beginning my new teaching position in theology at Bethel College and Seminary in Arden Hills, Minnesota. It is now known as Bethel University. I remember that, when the administration was thinking of changing the name, [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Evangelicalism: A Closed Club? Not Always Fair Based on my extensive and deep involvement with the American Evangelical Movement (AEM) over fifty years, I will dare to say that it was a closed club. At least there were (and still are) people who want to make it a bounded set, as opposed to a centered [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[Clark Pinnock was a leading evangelical theologian who died in 2010. I followed his career, learned from him through his books and articles, and finally got to know him personally in the 1990s. When I first read him he was a strong inerrantist and Calvinist. But he was a good writer and apologist for the [&#8230;]]]></description>

As a professional theologian with four university degrees in theology (BA, MA, MA, PhD) and forty years studying and teaching theology and twenty-some books published about theology…I will simply say CAPITALISM IS SIN. It is a sinful economic system. [&#8230;]]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I recently here discussed a book by Gary Agee entitled That We May Be One: Practicing Unity in a Divided Church. I agree with Gary’s call for as much unity among Christians as possible. However, I also agree with Martin Luther who said “Peace if possible, but truth at any cost.” I will paraphrase that [&#8230;]]]></description>
