Several blogs have focused in on the subject of liberal and\/or progressive Christianity since I posted on the topic a couple of days ago<\/a>.<\/p>\n

$\"\"$ Bo Sanders argues<\/a> that Liberal and Progressive are terms that need to be distinguished, with the latter being more postmodern, among other things.<\/p>\n

Tony Jones asked<\/a> whether he fits into Roger Olson\u2019s category of \u201cLiberal Christian.\u201d Roger Olson followed up by posting<\/a>\u00a0on the definition of fundamentalism.<\/p>\n

Bruce Gerencser asks a \u201cwhat if\u201d question<\/a> \u2013 what if he had been exposed to liberal and not only Evangelical forms of Christianity.<\/p>\n

David Henson blogs<\/a> about reclaiming repentance as a progressive Christian emphasis.<\/p>\n

Finally, Frank Schaffer\u2019s piece mentioned in my last post was taken up and reposted by Red Letter Christians<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
