Tim Keel Quotes

We Live In A Culture Of Reductionism. Or Better, We Are Living In The Aftermath Of A Culture Of Reductionism, And I Believe We Have Reduced The Complexity And Diversity Of The Scriptures To Systematic Theologies That Insist On Ideological Conformity, Even When Such Conformity Flattens The Diversity Of The Scriptural Witness. We Have Reduced Our Conception Of Gospel To Four Simple Steps That Short-circuit Biblical Narratives And Notions Of The Kingdom Of God On Earth As It Is In Heaven In Favor Of A Simplified Means Of Entrance To Heaven. Our Preaching Is Often Wed To Our Materialistic, Consumerist Cultural Assumptions, And Sermons Are Subsequently Reduced To Delivering Messages That Reinforce The Worst Of What American Culture Produces: Self-centered End Users Who Believe That God Is A Resource That Helps An Individual Secure What Amounts To An Anemic And Culturally Bound Understanding Of The 'abundant Life.
