Indeed, whether or not it comes from systematic theology : ), it is good to be reminded of God's role in all this.d. millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16844676267073730959noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143395511928869444.post-17619222686094202282008-09-26T23:41:00.000-06:002008-09-26T23:41:00.000-06:00I like this post.

So are the creeds (and other essentials) themselves "safe?" <BR/><BR/>The tenets of naturalism may also provide "safety" to its adherents.<BR/><BR/>Thought of Aslan (who is wild, but good). Also Luther's often repeated quote about scripture confronting us like an enemy.<BR/><BR/>Thanks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7143395511928869444.post-75539660514657402462008-09-23T21:05:00.000-06:002008-09-23T21:05:00.000-06:00How do you define "safe?"

If we come from a so called "confesional" approach, couldn't it be said that careful and hoenst study of Scripture is inherantly safe because God's Holy Spirit will bring some positive fruit from that study. In this way, a study of scripture that is guided by Christain conviction is completely safe because it it is frimly held in the hand of a soveriegn God.<BR/><BR/>This is the place where I think our systematic theology has much to contribute to questions of truth, authority and perspective as they relate to the reading and study of scripture--both in the accedemy and in the pew.<BR/><BR/>Blessings, RogueMonkRogueMonkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12461068285718357182noreply@blogger.com
