Bennet on Religion
Bennett sets up an unsettling depiction of today’s society. However, it seems as though he is merely trying to draw pathos out of readers. He mentions the most heinous crimes, and extreme situations and attempts to pass it off as a normal occurrence in society. He states over and over that “something has gone wrong with us.” Though some of the situations he speaks of are accepted as socially deviant but most all of

However, if the Bible is the writings of men who were only capable of seeing dimly, as if in a mirror, the way Paul described it, then we have a long way to go before we settle the question.

Biblical Admiration
I admire Abraham more than Gilgamesh because Abraham is generous, compassionate towards people he doesn’t know, because he listens to God but has enough courage to question him sometimes. I don’t admire Gilgamesh as much because he is extremely self-centered, has poor judgment that has drastic consequences, abuses the gifts and powers that he has, and attacks creatures when they are defenseless. In my opinion being admirable is respecting other people especially your superiors,

In Acts 20:35 Paul told people "to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, 'It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" Since Jesus never made such a biblical statement, isn't Paul guilty of deception? 3) When did the leper become not a leper? (Matthew 8:13 &

Contextualizing theology is attractive, since it means responding very directly to our subjectivity and our culture. In such an important conversation, how can we avoid relativization? Or is relativization a basically sound and healthy approach to reading and thinking about theology and God? In contextual theology, it is almost impossible to avoid relativization. The mere reason being that as human beings, we are programmed to be slightly selfish, something that counts as a weakness at
