Liberalism Regurgitated

In the beginning was the wheel Sigh. Another book rehashing liberalism for the popular mind, using the same old tired arguments about the authorship of the Old Testament, pointing out that the God of the New Testament is not the God of the Old, etc. This one is particularly noxious. Brown (the reviewer) summarizes: "Our inner life is deeply polytheistic, as even St Paul understood." Huh? Have they read Paul? Have they seen his numberous statements about God being one? Do they know ANYTHING about first-century Jewish angelology and cosmology? I'll come to the defense of Saint Paul--he does not think our "inner life" is deeply polytheistic. He is, in fact, arguing that our "inner life" is not polytheistic, and if your's happens to be, that's an aberration. Sigh. Anyone who thinks Paul isn't thoroughly Trinitarian in his thought should check out Gordon Fee's article in The Trinity. For that matter, everyone should buy and read everything Fee has written.
