 Chuck
Smith Jr Speaks:
(from his book)
On
Fundamentalism - "Eventually, though, I recognized how
outdated, parochial, and rigid the fundamentalist subculture had
become. p. xiii
On
the Past: "[T]hose who hesitate will miss out on a great
work of God that is now taking shape ... we have not seen a crucial
period in church history for at least two hundred years .... have
to discard some of our old wineskins ... you will need a road
map ... this book will provide that map," p. 9.
On
the Future: Popular culture is becoming increasingly postmodern.
... Popular culture is not evil. ... Christians need to find new
ways to present the gospel," pp. 86, 91.
On
Contemplative: "More and more Protestant Christians—and
we are way behind the Roman Catholics on this score—are discovering
a new, yet old way of reading the Bible: lectio
divina." p. 103
"I
doubt that the current interest in Christian spirituality is simply
a fad.... Esther de Waal's The Celtic Way
of Prayer is one of many books that offers spiritual expression
in a variety of paths that have long been minimized or overlooked."
p. 103.
