Life - Liberty - and the Pursuit of Sanity

In the introduction to his book Mr Olsen expressed the need for a "both-and" type of theology as opposed to an either-or". At first glance this did not seem to make very much sense. My first thought was WHAT?!?!?!

However something in his introduction caught my attention so I decided to keep reading:

Great Tradition Christianity holds both unity and diversity together. Christians can be and, at their best, are 'of one mind' about the most important matters related to God, but they also contribute richness to that single worldview with their various perspectives. One major goal of this volume is to portray Christian belief in all its glorious harmony and rich diversity.

So feel free to read along as I tackle this book one chapter at a time....it may take up to a week between postings depending on my schedule with the kids.
