"The new Christianity of the great emergence must discover some authority base or delivery system and/or governing agency of its own. It must formulate – and soon – something other than Luther’s sola scriptura which, although used so well by the Great Reformation originally, is now seen as hopelessly outmoded or insufficient, even after it is, as here, spurred up and re-couched in more current sensibilities.”

I want to stab this book...
Not the author, just the book...
I can't believe this...
It just absolutely makes no sense to me that the idea of "Sola Scriptura" may have been good for previous centuries of Christianity, but now we need to adopt something that might make it easier for us to be Christians because we might like it more...
Gotta' love that human-centered theology - yuk...

Here's another great quote:
"Brethren, we shall not adjust our Bible to the age; but before we have done with it, by God's grace, we shall adjust the age to the Bible."
- C.H. Spurgeon
