… Everyone can see quite clearly that the mainline is not only receding but probably disappearing. That is, indeed, part of the problem. But the proposed solution offered by Marcus Borg, Brian McLaren, and Diana Butler Bass is also part of the problem. I have read some books of the first two of that trio, and from reading what Bass says in the article, it is clear that she fits right in with Borg and McLaren. They want the church and theology to change, to be transformative, to be fundamentally shifted. What they miss is the Biblical, orthodox, and evangelical gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ. Their theology has been around for 2,000 years, denying the heart of the gospel. Their proposal is no answer to the receding mainline church. Their answer is a dead end.
