The start of modern theology

On Monday, I had to opportunity to finally meet Rev. Dr. Stephen Tong in person. It was a great privilege.

I remember one of his message vividly, "I believe modern liberal theology is the greatest cult in history!". And he stared at me as though either he wanted that message to sink into my head or to assure me that we are on the same page.

It is so critical, that he had emphasized that working together with certain churches, especially ones influenced by the cult, is as one trying to put new wine into old bottles.

It is also to my pleasure to find that we both held in common the view against rotating leadership in a bible study group (James 3:1).

My further reading and study is based on his mentioning of Ferdinand Christian Baur in 1850, began the 新派神學 movement. Also, Adolf von Harnack's "What is Christianity?" (Das Wesen des Christentums).

I shall also follow the booklist of Momentum Book Store on Facebook.
