Dr. Mohler's Response to the Evangelical Manifesto
Dr. Mohler has provided a detailed response to the recent Evangelical Manifesto. "In the end, I must judge "An Evangelical Manifesto" to be too expansive in terms of public relations and too thin in terms of theology. I admire so much of what this document states and represents, but I cannot accept it as a whole. I want it to be even more theological, and to be far more specific about the Gospel... This document will have to be much more theological for it to accomplish its own stated purpose. "

FWIW, I enjoyed civil interchanges with Professors Darrel Bock and Dan Wallace of Dallas Theological Seminary, both of whom support the Manifesto.
Bock in comment labeled “Cultural War”?
