Great episode! A straight forward discussion about what the Church is facing today in every denomination. I will definitely watch this episode more than once. So many important points were discussed. Thank you.
One or both of you may be interested in Michael Stewart Robb’s well researched book on the theology of Dallas Willard. Dallas critiqued the prevailing soteriology of the 20th century to the present.
Thank you, very interesting interview! I'm ALWAYS enlightened and/or challenged by Dr. Olson's writing & teaching. We attended the same church in my late teen & early adulthood & were related by marriage for a time. Roger is a great person & truly lives a committed life to Christ personally & professionally.
Can one believe the creeds and historical confessions, while also supporting the liberalization of church discipline/canon law? Does that make one a liberal? As a moderate Lutheran I find myself in this position: I find insufficient scriptural justification for abortion being a sin; I believe St. Paul was frequently conveying his personal (inspired but not infallible) opinion on matters of Church Discipline (e.g. Women's Ordination, prohibition on cross-dressing) subject to ecumenical review (cf. Acts 15); I believe the prohibitions against homosexuality in Leviticus are ceremonial law; and that in the historical context the homosexual relations St. Paul condemned were nothing like they are today (not committed, primarily for the pleasure of the active partner, and often non-consensual), so those condemnations should not really apply.

John Shelby Spong was neo orthodox following the works of Paul Tillich
It was an honor
This helps me be able to explain to the older folks at my little UMC church why we need to get out while the "getting's good". Thank you!
You're welcome! I pray God can use this interview for your churches like yours.

Awesome opportunity. I've read 'Against Calvinism' many years ago along with some of Dr Olson's other work.
Yes, he is a blessing!
This is brilliant, thanks so much. You have put words and affirmation to where the Lord is leading me.
