When I worked as a Youth Minister for 16 years and taught Youth Ministry in Higher Education for 8 years, I always talked about the missiological principle of being "Relevant" in our Post-Christian and now, Post-Modern Culture.
Being "relevant" however is not the same as being "relative."
The unseemly project of Christian ingratiation to the world, in the name of GRACE, has moved many of us from being helpfully relevant to unashamedly "relative," in our exegesis and theology... For the most current example see: "Rob Bell."
Many are quite simply promising the world, far more than the Bible, or our theological historical tradition, can EVER deliver...
