Marty,
If you find online responses to the essay, would you be so good as to post links to them?

The prof sounds very intelligent (much smarter and well read than me), and I don't doubt he has a cogent perspective. I like the fact that he desires a Protestant theology. But, I can't help but wonder about certain parts of his approach, however. How much of it is refracted through the lens of his p-c assumptions, and the late modern attempt to form God out of human (shifting) values? Does this perspective imply a tendency in his reading of sources: ancient, Reformation, and modern?

I have a feeling at the end of the day we would ultimately differ on what the nature of Protestant theological enterprise is all about.
