Driscoll says, "Pagan Christianity poses such a serious threat to the health and well being of the church..." He has gone so far as to openly point out the fallacies (in his opinion) in Mr. Viola's understanding of 'church', 'the bible', and 'church history'.


That's interesting about Driscoll, I've heard a few of his messages, and he seems pretty solid on a lot of stuff. If he means that the book is a threat to the contemporary Church --I'd say he was solid on that too!

There are some areas of disagreement found in Viola's view of the Church, for instance he believes in the plurality of elders in the church with no particular one vested with the 'final say'. He would say that the Holy Spirit has the ultimate 'final say' so there is no need for one person to be vested with that kind of authority.

But I suspect that his (Driscoll's) disagreement would go beyond the issue of plurality verses one-man-rule of the Church.

As far as Viola's view of the Bible, I'm not sure I could find where he would find disagreement... wait a minute, I just remembered his view concerning women in ministry --that's probably it! <grin>

On Church history I guess it would depend on how one interprets the facts. (Surely there would not be a disagreement on the FACTS about what has occurred?)

More to come!

Blessings,
William


I want to believe!
