Tim Keller posted a review of Matthew Vines book God and the Gay Christian, including also Ken Wilson’s A Letter to My Congregation. He provides six types of errors that he finds in Vines’ and Wilson’s books, both historical, personal, and theological. Matthew Vines has responded on his blog, suggesting that Keller has made some historical errors and misrepresented his arguments on many points. This was quite the little back-and-forth and easy to follow since Keller made his critiques in 6 categories, to which Vines responded point by point.
We reviewed two books that try to wed historical criticism with Christian faith and reveal many hermeneutical problems: Evangelical Faith and the Challenge of Historical Criticism and Reading the Old Testament, a very successful (but older) textbook. We also highlighted Tim Keller’s new book Preaching and some background on why he so effectively communicates to Christians and non-Christians alike.
