Ending Christian Euphemisms: "Fundamentalist"
I've taken some heat in the comment section for using yesterday's post on "unbiblical" and a "higher view of scripture" as a thin foil for my own disregard of biblical standards. To the contrary, I was pointing to the use of the word unbiblical as a stand-in for a particularly thin hermeneutic. Ther

Two things:
1. You are calling yourself one of the greatest living theologians? Because you are listed under “theologians” and have said these are “40 of the greatest”.
2. There are no theologians from Trinity, Covenant, Gordon-Conwell, Westminster, or RTS. Is this because they did not accept an invitation or you didn’t invite them? If the latter, I find it ironic that you want to get a true “conversation” going, but you don’t include all aspects.

There seems to be quite a few process theologians. That’s cool. Process is cool. Most of them are well-versed postmodernity. But it would be interesting to add a few open theists, too. That could make for a rich conversation.
And if you’re going to add folks, it would be interesting to add some informal theologians from local congregations. Just regular folks. I wonder what would happen if formal theologians asked laypeople questions and sought their wisdom. Another layer of richness.

Brian,
I know what open theism is. I meant to type “theism” instead of “theology”. But I guess, either way, it is a theology.
Anyway, my question is how you think open theism is rich.
