Talk:Fuller Theological Seminary

message: Quotes like these all seem very biased, almost advert like.
 academic rigor and ethnic and denominational diversity
 The faculty consists of leading Christian thinkers and scholars with equally diverse backgrounds. 
 Students and professors often hold diametrically opposing views and vehemently debate a wide range of religious and ethical issues

thread_title: NPOV?

message: There has recently been a rash of edits on this page in the "Criticisms" section.  Apparently some people feel that Fuller is too liberal.  I do not dispute that Fuller is not as right-wing as its founders, and has moved a considerable distance to the "left" in the nearly 60 years since its founding.  However, I do feel that attempts to keep this article having a neutral tone have been met with dismissiveness.  Despite what the most recent editor claims, to call something "Left of Center" is a statment of opinion, no matter how many people observe it and believe it to be the case.  I would argue that the editors who claim that Fuller is "left of center" believe that that "center" is far more to the right than is in fact the case.  Can we get some arbitration on this?--G.B.

replies: text: Definitely agree that "Left of Center" is a matter of opinion. Fuller's statement of faith (to which all faculty must agree prior to employment) is very moderate, not liberal in the least. However, to a conservative, it seems liberal and to a liberal, it seems conservative. Fuller has been caught in the middle for years (and everyone blames the School of Psychology). In the grand scheme of things, Fuller is about as smack dab center as is possible at a seminary. While there are subjects taught and discussed that aren't particularly palatable for extremely conservative theological thinkers, Fuller's statement of faith is very clear and very middle of the road. Just because something is taught and/or discussed doesn't mean that doctrine is the school's theological stance; it simply means that the topic is important enough to warrant recognition.Tamara Young 15:34, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

text: One way to avoid the NPOV issue on this would be to quote specific evangelical leaders who have publicly decried Fuller as "liberal." The words "liberal" and "conservative," though, when applied to theological, aren't as clear as in the early 20th century. This whole section probably needs to be rewritten from a more neutral standpoint. --Tom Allen 23:53, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: "Left of Center" not an opinion?

message: I removed the paragraph on anti-American activities because it contained a great deal of material about supposed events on campus without presenting any references. I realize that everything that happens on campus isn't documented, but I was actually still on campus at the time of 9/11 and if someone posted something like that on a door somewhere, it was either hushed up pretty darn well or it's an urban myth. Something like that would hardly go un-noticed - particularly if there was an uproar or public outrage as the content stated.
As far as being "anti-war," Mennonite and Brethren faculty have been outspoken about "just peacemaking," particularly Glen Stassen (author of multiple books on 'just peacemaking'). If we're going to discuss Fuller faculty, staff, and student activities around politics and policy, let's be specific and avoid referring to "rumors." Tamara Young 18:07, 16 August 2007 (UTC)

Daniel Fuller
    v t e 
Fuller is Professor Emeritus of hermeneutics at Fuller Theological Seminary[1] where he taught from 1953 to 1993 and served as Dean of the School of Theology from 1963 to 1972. In addition, he served as president of the Gospel Broadcasting Association and the Fuller Evangelistic Association. Dr. Fuller is known for his views on the "gospel of grace continuum," viewed by some as a modified form of Covenant Theology that proposes there has always been one unified way for man to gain salvation in the Bible, particularly through grace. This distinction is famous for its simplification of Biblical theology.[citation needed]
Dr. Fuller is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley and Fuller Theological Seminary. He holds the Doctor of Theology degrees from Northern Baptist Seminary and from the University of Basel in Switzerland. He is married with four children.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.108.249.188 (talk) 21:49, 22 April 2018 (UTC)
