I am not tracking the controversy, but I love this quotable it produced. In my opinion it belongs on the BHT masthead:
I am personally wondering how to articulate the different between “Reforming Faith” (which seems to be the Reformation call – “always reforming) and a “Reformed Faith.” (The rediscovery of a 16th Century expression of faith deeply contextual to that era brought forward with impunity into the present as though the Gospel of God had been hidden for 15 centuries).
i hear this reformed, always reforming bit so often from my card carryin gliberal reformed (? i dare say not in the least) classmates at Union Seminary. i wonder, 1, where does it come from? i don’t recall it coming up in any of the reformed literaure i have read. and 2, how it can be used in such a blanket fashion by them. it seems to be the only principle of the reformation (if it is indeed one) that they think is still really valid. for those reasons i cringe when i hear it.
