New words
I wanted to post this up last night. But the blogger server was down.
Have been surfing around and came across several new issues and words that have been circulating around in Christian subculture and cyberspace.
Emergent-yuppie church? alternative worship? a non-denominational denomination? That's what I understand so far. But still exploring. But the fundamental idea is that emergent is trying to recapture the missional character of the church into the world.
Theodicy-Okay, there's really nothing new about this word. Just that I didn't know that it existed. Anyway a theodicy is an attempt to explain the problem of suffering and evil.
Open Thiesm- Basically means a view that God cannot know the future simply because the future is...err...unknowable in the first place.
The New Pespective- A bible scholar's attempt to contribute to 'popular' christian literature? Haha...no lar..on a more serious note, it is the thesis that the argument that Paul had with the Judaizers was not primarily a works vs faith issue so much so as a question of ethnicity and the membership into the kingdom of God.
So which one I agree on and which one I don't. See whether you can guess or not. Do leave a comment yah.
