Be of good comfort, Master Ridley, and play the man; we shall this day light such a candle, by God's grace in England, as I trust shall never be put out
I fee like the distinction that Forde makes between the "Theology" of the cross and the "Theologian" of the cross is not being recognized. If I remember correctly, at the beginning of On Being a Theologian of the Cross Forde, referenceing Luther, makes it clear that to speak about a theology of the cross is to mis-read Luther's work. Luther ties the theology to the theologian. Does this ring any bells? Is the difference important?
Great interview by the way. Have you read John's post about Mike Horton's defence of Calvin? It was a while ago.
That's true. Calvinism recognizes a theology of the cross, but it looks like Forde personifies it more. I think it is a powerful interview nonetheless.
I haven't read the thing on Horton, but I'd be interested to see what it says.
