Sometimes the best things come from the past. The arrogance of post-modern theology condemns the past and relegates it to dusty archives. Only one person had no past. We must look into our past, going back as far as Adam, if we ever hop to understand our post-modern times and our uncertain future. A post-modern person believes the essence of Christianity is not theology but a feeling of love.
Emotion becomes the standard by which truth is judged.
If he can feel something then he accepts it as true. The post-modern man rejects propositional truth and discounts the great theologians of the past for, what he calls dead orthodoxy. As if our forefathers had no passion, no life, no emotion. Paul the Apostle was as passionate a person as you will ever meet. So much so, he suffered under persecution, to the point of death, for the doctrinal passions he defended.
