Moltmann Conference part 2, Plurality of Truth (John Franke)
- Christians don’t agree. On anything, really. Why?
- Assumption 1 – the Bible is sufficient to accomplish that task it undertakes. Assumption 2 – God will give wisdom to anyone who asks. Assumption 3 – the Holy Spirit will be at work in the whole church guiding us into truth. Then how do we make sense of the massive diversity in Christianity since the beginning?
- Thesis: Orthodox Christianity is characterized by irreducible plurality and that is exactly what God intended. It’s God’s plan.
- So What? That’s how we can say that we are all theologians. That’s why we believe in conversation vs. lecture from an expert. “The road emerged only as I walked on it” JM on theology. “Lord, don’t ever let my theology prevent me from seeing what you are doing in the world.” JF.
