It bothers me too when scholars are suggested to be liberals.
As if liberal were a bad word.
Education=liberal?
Im all for education.
Who wouldnt be?
What are the project's authors suggesting when they argue that contemporary scholars have inserted liberal views and ahistorical passages into the Bible, turning Jesus into little more than a well-meaning social worker with a store of watered-down platitudes. How would they like their God to be seen? All warring and scary? And arent those platitudes the ones that have been espoused for thousands of years, around the world, by many great men who are now worshipped because they had the foresight to see humanity in relationships?
What the hell is going on?
