Sure. Emergent theology is
Sure. Emergent theology is de-facto a Zeitgeist theology.
Theoretically, it could be principally prophetic - theology emerging
from God
via a prophet, but I don’t believe that to be the case. Indeed, it’s
easy to see how some might fancy the idea of truth emerging by people’s
preferences ("look 51% of people support armpit shaving, it’s a form of
prophecy! God is saying is now squarely on the armpit-shaving side!):
be on guard for this, it’s evil. Emergin thelogy is about know the
truth about what’s emering, not saying that what’s emerging is true.
Emergent theology is the theology of what people will believe in the future. At one point, indulgences were part of the emergent theology, and of course are now off the radar. At another point, the priesthood of the believer was part of the emergent theology, and that of course is still well entrenced in the modern theology, still contained in today’s emergent theology.
In summary when you
here something lofty said about Emergent Theology, quietly insert the
word "Today’s". (Today’s) Emergent Thelogy centers around <fill in
the blank>.
