Danny Olinger | The Auburn Affirmation at 100
Ойын-сауық
In this episode, we commemorate the centennial of the Auburn Affirmation, exploring its profound impact on the Presbyterian Church (USA) and the broader Christian community. We explore the theological crossroads of the early twentieth century, marked by the rise of modernism and the publication of The Fundamentals. We discuss the significant events that led to the Auburn Affirmation, including Harry Emerson Fosdick’s influential sermon and the subsequent controversies that reshaped American Protestantism.
Reflecting on these historical developments, we consider the ongoing relevance of confessional fidelity and integrity in today’s church. Join us as we examine how the Auburn Affirmation’s call for theological tolerance challenges our understanding of doctrinal adherence, and how we can navigate these waters with a commitment to both truth and unity. This episode offers valuable insights into maintaining the church’s distinct witness and enduring relevance in a pluralistic society.

Enjoyed this, thanks to all. I've listened twice already!
"adapting Christianity so that the modern man understands it's a paraphrase" Coffin's definition of liberalism via Danny @37:14 👌
The new heavens and the new earth; Rev.22:2 Speaking of the "tree of life" Says, "Its leaves are for the healing of the nations."; which is a metaphor for salvation. Once again Speaking of The New, Isaiah 65:17ff Says that there is death and sinners in The New; though there is betterness/greaterness there. That's our present reality/New Covenant living, the book of Hebrews etc. Thanks for listening. 🙂 1 John 4:10,11
Jeremiah 30:6 asks, "Can a man give birth?" ...100 years later, the intellectual descendants of the Auburn Affirmation can answer, " Why yes, a man can give birth!" ... The leopards and Ethiopians from Jer 13 are now looking about in an anxious fashion to see what the Auburn affirmers are now willing to say about them ...!
