Theology for the Third Millennium : An Ecumenical View

Rating:
Summary: Interesting Thesis From a Prolific Writer
Review: One can admire the output of this leading theological writer. Over 78 entries along on Amazon.com. This book's thesis is yet another extension of the modernist mindset, that just as science as learned that truth develops and matures as it progresses, so should theology. He interestingly hypothesizes that the real turning point in history was Luther succeeding in his arugument with Erasmus over original sin. For one who doesn't confess the inerrancy of Scripture, Kung easily feels the mistake lies with the church going with Luther. That's the prevailing case in his argument, shift the paradigm to reflect where current critical scholarship is on Scripture. Interesting account, but didn't sell with this believer.
