Yeah, I noticed that he mentioned it 4 times. I'm not sure if that means he's into it (uh oh) or whether he recognizes that feminism and associated movements have been a big influence on liberal-progressive Christianity, especially in the political sense, and so he is noting its absence in the book. The feminist/progressive political influence has had many ramifications in the church (e.g., female pastors, gay pastors, gay marriage, LGBTQ+ affirming churches, PC speech policing, etc.) - very divisive - and so its omission is a big one. I guess the author didn't want to touch that stuff and wanted to just stick to theology.
Appreciate your thoughtful reviews as always. I’m curious what your response would be to Daren Overstreet’s Wildfire: how progressive theology is impacting the church. It’s been making the circles around the movement of churches I’m in, but I feel uneasy with the veracity of his points.
Thanks Sam! I'm not familiar with Overstreet. After looking up the book, it strikes me as similar to Voddie Baucham in tone and/or stridency, which is a bit of a red flag for me. I would be open to checking out the merits of his argument, though. It's really too bad that these arguments tend to get sucked up into the culture war dynamics....
hilarious that roger olson the champion of free will, the current king of arminianism, writes a book against liberal theology. his beliefs are the foundation of liberal theology
@@JoelWentz Glad it is on your radar. I appreciate and enjoy your reviews. I have read it. I would recommend another book that I think you and your viewers may appreciate: The Revenge of Power by Moisés Naím. Keep up the good work!
Dude is really into feminist theology

@@Arven8 he’s into it
@@DanteInfernski22 If so, I will tune out. I can do without more of that. Thanks.
@@Arven8 don’t listen to me. I don’t even remember the video.
@@DanteInfernski22 uh, ok, lol

@@JoelWentz Oh for sure. Culture warring produces content with an ounce of truth and two tons of raw emotion.

I'm not sure I understand. Are you trying only calvinists or non-arminians are conservative? Arminianism is liberal?
Would definitely appreciate your take someday on Anthea Butler’s book, White Evangelical Racism.
It's been on my radar! Have you read it yet?
