Peter Enns was pulling highlights from a lecture by John Franke about the distinctions between traditional and progressive Christian evangelicalism. This part about how to define progressive evangelicalism really resonated with me. Progressive evangelicalism…
(1) is marked by holding to a “center” of theology rather than maintaining firm “boundaries,” (2) views the theological task as more of a “dialogue” than arriving at firm conclusions defended at all cost, and (3) encourages a deliberate engagement of voices outside of evangelicalism in order to learn from them, not simply correct them.
via The Bible is the center of the Christian faith and don’t assume you know what I mean by that.
