Molly Worthen on SBC Takeover, Francis Schaeffer, etc

Not just Worthen, but a consensus, he got in over his head, and early on when Mark Noll began peer review, Schaeffer got whiney, just like the SBC Fundies the second day of the Conference on Inerrrancy in Ridgecrest 87!

A consensus of who, a few other pseudo-intellectuals biased against a conservative, evangelical view of Christianity?

Pick two of Schaeffer's works, any two, read them, and when you've done that, I'll come back to this conversation and we can talk. I've read everything he wrote, including A Christian Manifesto for Dr. Denison's apologetics class at Southwestern before the board was controlled by the conservative resurgence. Even during the Naylor and Dilday area, his work, to date, was required reading in some classes there, and if I'm not mistaken, I believe he spoke in chapel there once or twice, before my time. And that was under educational leadership that you think was right on target.

Gushee told me he has not read Moly to date. Right now I am listening to her UNC Radio interview where she talks more about Francis Schaefer.

Here is Gushee, part Two!

Good work, but again a shame he did not bring a mastery of Worthen to the exercise.
