Millard Erickson, Ph.D.: "Christian Theology," Ch. 5: Contemporizing the...

Contemporizing the Christian Message—Erickson poses and sets up the challenge of obsolescence in theology and the varying loci of permanence in Christianity. Five centers are offered. Institutional as in Romanism? A few acts of God as in Ernest Wright’s Heilsgechicte? (What Langdon Gilkey calls half-liberal and half-modern and what we’d call a variation on Bultmann.) Experiences as in Fosdick’s variant accommodation? Or, doctrinal as for Prof. J. G. Machen? Or ethics, as for Kant, Ritschl and Rauschenbush?
