He is unable to get to the crux of any issue, pin anyone to their opinions or even hold off from interrupting an important answer. It's a shame they are so badly taught and interpreted. If it were not for my own experience I should not know what to make of them. I am quite convinced that good teaching, backed by personal experience, could bring new thrust to the old story. I must say I hate traditionalists dishonoring other traditions, since this is the least thing which would be considered Christian.
Most traditionalists make the serious mistake of taking the gospel literally instead of seriously.
I think that what we need is an evolutionary picture of Christianity and the gospel. This has been initiated by Teilhard, but not taken up by scholars widely. The problem is that most theologians know next to nothing about science, biology, psychology, etc., and most of them are afraid to make contact with each other. Something comparable is overdue these days, which is what I think you are referring to. I don't know who could do that, and don't see anybody currently doing it.
