More Healthy Critique of Evangelical Theology

There's a new book out called The Problem with Evangelical Theology that seems to ask some great questions and tackles key controversial theological issues with a recklass indifference to stepping on the toes of traditional doctrinal views. Sounds like my kind of book. We need more discussion/writing that challenges the comfort of our conclusions that our theology gives us, without challenging us to think more deeply and love God with all our minds.

I particularly like what author Ben Witherington says in this interview with CT:
"I think part of the problem is that we are still doing theology in an Enlightenment frame of mind, as if it were a string of ideas that we should logically link together, and once we've produced a nice logical circle, then we're home free. The truth is that life is a lot messier than that, and the Bible is more about stories than the history of ideas that are embedded in the stories."
