Nothing New Under the Sun

H. Richard Niebuhr, writing many moons ago (in the 1930′s), gave the following summary of the liberal Christianity popular at the time:

“A God without wrath brought men without sin into a kingdom without judgment through the ministrations of a Christ without a cross.”

I find this a nifty summary of *parts* of the Emergent movement (the revisionist part).  Funny how there really is nothing new under the sun, even when its packaged as the new and fresh.
