Regurgitation
Sorry that so much of what I have to say is secondary these days. I guess I think others have said it better than I can. Hopefully, I can serve as someone who can direct others to valuable reading that they otherwise might not encounter.
In light of not-just-a-few discussions I’ve had about my post linking Peter Leithart, please read the following. It might help clear up what I dislike modernity so much. I’m actually a little bitter that it has not, and cannot, deliever the goods that it “promised.” Read Michael Sawilowsky on Soren Kierkegaard on removing the offenses of Christianity.
Next check out Alistair Adversaria on N.T. Wright on Infant Baptism. It’s long, but worth the read. I’ve never taken the time to think about how much modernity (read individualism) has influenced my view of this particular ordinance/sacrament. I’m still holding to a creedal baptist position, but, if A.A.’s representation of Wright’s position is faithful ( and I think it is), then he (Wright) has a lot of good things to say that we (Baptists) need to appropriate somehow in our theology of baptism. How? I don’t know…
