I wasn't equating Pearcey with Pinnock and McLaren, but I was seeing the interesting similarity in the usage of the phrase, and wondered how Pearcey dealt with it in contrast to those. I will take a look at the links when I get a chance. In the meantime, if you have an opportunity, what would be your answers regarding the questions I posed, after having read the book?Brandonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02761914618898091685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-951577269167285145.post-68473000385038090582010-12-18T18:01:15.571-08:002010-12-18T18:01:15.571-08:00Nancy's Pearcey's theology is nothing like...Nancy's Pearcey's theology is nothing like that of Clark Pinnock and Brian McLaren. Check out these reviews to learn more about Nancy Pearcey and her book, Total Truth: http://www.challies.com/book-reviews/book-review-total-truth?quicktabs_1=2 and http://www.albertmohler.com/2006/03/17/total-truth-a-bold-manifesto-for-the-christian-worldview/. I also recommend reading R.C.

I have a question after...Interesting review, Wick. I have a question after reading a lot of Inclusivist Missions literature. Inclusivists would say that the work of Christ is ontologically necessary, but not necessary for someone to know epistemologically for faith. Thus, for many Inclusivists (e.g. Clark Pinnock, Brian McLaren and others), they would believe "truth" in other religions points to the one and only true God. They often quote the above phrase--"all truth is God's truth"--in support of this. <br /><br />In other words, they think, Christians should affirm "true" statements about God in pagan religions as truly true. This then communicates the idea that pagans in other religions can know true things about God correctly, even perhaps worship Him through elements in their own religions, though they perhaps do not know, or even, in some cases, outrightly reject Christ. They therefore hold to a quantitative distinction of truth, i.e. revelation about Christ (special revelation) is only more full revelation of God (general revelation), but not of a different sort. <br /><br />I think Exclusivists would say pagan "truth" is secular truth (general revelation), but is qualitatively different than sacred truth (special revelation). However, it seems that this author rejects such a distinction between secular and sacred truth. Does this author deal with this question in her book?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
