I do not mean to demean Fundamentalists, just to register my own position. My theological liberalism presupposes that He has not been wholly silent throughout all regions but Judea and the Mediterranean basin, although it is likely enough that the Bible reflects greater interaction historically. Also, as I said, I tend to think that God's interaction is not transmitted pristinely by the Book, and I am not sure where I land on the question of the Christ. By the way, didn't Shaeffer end up in the Eastern Orthodox communion? I will take a look at the links and report back, as leisure permits, thanks.....

Actually, it did not take long, since I have read the first before, in doing research on historical Fundamentalism, and have read plenty of things like the second, ad nauseam. I do not have naturalistic presuppositions. That is what I meant by saying I was a theological liberal in an older sense. I believe in a personal God, and special providence, and even the occasional incidence of miracles. I just don't believe in certain key elements of conservative Christianity, like salvation through faith in Christ alone, or the literal inerrancy of Scripture. I am not even sure that I believe in Hell, though I certainly believe in Purgatory.........
