Disappointing, January 29, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Liberalism: Its Cause and Cure : The Poisoning of American Christianity and the Antidote (Paperback)
Jackson in this book speaks of the history of liberalism in the Lutheran church, of which he is a pastor. On one hand Jackson opposes liberalism, evolution, the charismatic heresy, feminism (and I think this is right, but one needs good reasons for asserting this). But on the other hand he provides no argumentation why this would be right, he simply asserts Luther's dogma's. I had expected from a critic of liberal theology that he would refute deism (and such a refutation can be found in Norman Geisler's "Christian Apologetics"). I was also, among others, surprised at his classifying only Lutheranism as conservative, and classifying all other Christian churches (Catholic, Baptist, Reformed...) as liberal (p. 13), I think that it is rather the contrary that is true.
