David W. Cloud, Editor. O Timothy is a monthly magazine in its 15th year of publication. Our thinking must not dwell exclusively on our personal relationship to God while we forget the corporate aspects of sin and salvation.
Sin is personal, but it is also social.
The task of the Christian is to deal with sin in both realms. While liberation theology is neither good theology nor does it lead to liberation, people in these countries are looking for answers to complex social problems. The Fundamentalist response must be more than a condemnation of the false, but an apologetic that can deal Scripturally with the problems faced by emerging Third World nations. Sometimes we seem more comfortable in reacting to false views by condemnation than in articulating our own Biblical response to issues and problems. This is unscriptural thinking.
