Thanks for the thoughts on social justice. I hope you’ll engage the thoughts of Wallis and Sider more often in the future on your blog!I’m an old student of yours back in the TEDS days. I’m excited to see you blogging!

Now that you’ve asked…I’ve read most of what Wallis has written, though I’ve not read Sojourners consistently except one year. I really like his Faith Works book, but I find his newest one to be too much about “what I’ve done, see isn’t it good?” and not enough about the big issues.I find I agree with Wallis, though, on most political angles.Of all the people I’ve read over the years, I think he’s got good insight on the pressing social issues in how they should be viewed for Christians.I do think his biblical foundation is a bit thin: he reads very literally, rarely asks about historical context, but then lives right off that literal reading. E.g., are the poor of ancient Israel the same as the poor at the time of Jesus and are they the same as the poor in our world? Doubtful. We need to be a little more nuanced.On Sider, I’ve always read him, and I like him too. He challenges me deeply on materialism, but I think his last book was a bit of “scandal of a cranky evangelical.”

Bob, How did you find my blogsite?
posted April 13, 2005 at 11:27 am
I found you when you commented at Stephen Shields’ blog. He’s one of those blogs I check out a few times a week.I said, “Hey! Scot McKnight! I wonder if he has a blog?!” And there you were.I’ve linked this post on my blog, vanguardchurch. Maybe the “emergent church” people who regularly read it will follow the link (they like NT Wright a lot, so maybe some of them are already familiar with your writings).I’d love to hear you flesh out your criticism of Wallis’ hermeneutics. Maybe a blog entry for you in the future?
