"The excessive skepticism of many liberal theologians stems not from a careful evaluation of the available data, but from an enormous predisposition against the supernatural."

an enormous predisposition...
I am slowly but surely working my way through Josh McDowell's A Ready Defense. In the chapter I read this morning, I came across a quote I find very interesting and true.
"The excessive skepticism of many liberal theologians stems not from a careful evaluation of the available data, but from an enormous predisposition against the supernatural."

Hmmm....well I definitely think that several conservative theologians also are predisposed against certain supernatural phenomena as well. Perhaps just of a different sort. I love the dialogue that quotes like this generate!
ReplyDeleteI am not sure which supernatural phenomena you refer to, but the truth is all of us come to the table with "enormous predispositions." I believe it will always be this way, for humans are born with a large amount of faith, but it is our free will that determines where that faith will be grounded.
