Forty years ago a famous theologian wrote: "It is often said today that theology is stronger than it has ever been, and in terms of academic expertise and the quantity and quality of books published this is probably true; but it is a long time since theology has been so weak and clumsy at its basic task of holding the church to the realities of the gospel. Ninety years ago C.H.Spurgeon described the wobblings he then saw among the Baptists on Scripture, atonement and human destiny as 'the downgrade'; could he survey Protestant thinking about God at the present time, I guess he would speak of the 'nose-dive'!"
Now, in 2010, it wouldn't be a nose-dive but a belly flop.
"Stand ye in the way and see, and ask for the old paths, where is the good way, and walk therein, and ye shall find rest for your souls." Jeremiah 6:16
