the adventure of home... I got stood up for lunch last Thursday (Stephen Black!!!), so I used the time to start Peter Rollins' How (Not) to Speak of God . I was sent this for review and it's been on the pile for a few weeks... But there's more and more talk about the book- Tony Jones sings its praises, Scott B has some good thoughts here and here. I'll tell you right off the bat- the guy can write and the guy has things to say. Too early to tell whether I'm down completely, but this has stuck in my head for days... In the intro, Rollins describes a G.K.

I mean, Paul was big on circumcision. For the Galatians, he argued that to accept it was to deny the gospel. But I don't hear a lot about circumcision these days. In fact, I feel it's a safe bet to say that nobody even connects it with the gospel. That, in spite of Paul's "clear teaching" that if one allows himself to be circumcised then the gospel is of no value. Now, I know that's not all Paul says about this point - but that's exactly what those of us who hold to an egalitarian viewpoint would say about the question of gender roles. What constitutes "theological evolution"? Is it simply a matter of saying that what was once said is all that can ever be said? Or...
