Post-Evangelicals

Christian Fundamentalism

The article states that Fuller Theological Seminary is the largest in North America. Unfortunately most Christian preachers emerge from the little cow dung Bible colleges. Of course any attempt to reconcile science and Christianity is a bit silly but anything that moderates Christian behavior is better than nothing.

Biblical inerrancy to this crowd is not so much right or wrong as a divine waste of time. "It's not where we're going to land the plane," says Tony Jones, a Fuller alumnus who is a leader of The Emergent Coalition, an international post-evangelistic group, and a doctoral candidate at Princeton. "My money is on a post-evangelical future. And Fuller is uniquely poised to be the one seminary that ushers in this epistomological shift." ...

Even as fundamentalist Christians of all stripes appear to be in ascendance—among Catholics, the wishful thinkers desiring to roll back the calendar to pre-Vatican II; among Protestants, the burgeoning Asian converts fiercely conservative in practice—there is also a groundswell of support for just the sort of Third Way theology that Fuller embodies, an unmet yearning among believers to reconcile the most compelling features of two divergent worlds.
