A Quest For Integrity: Drippings From A Wrung Out Baptist - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Discover the way from Jerusalem to Athens; the road to integrity!

Articles of faith or tenets of religion come with a cost.  Personal integrity is at stake.  We must assert our own authority to determine what is true or probable, or soldier on giving lip-service to concepts promulgated by authorities we have come to question.  Each path comes with difficulties.  Living in the middle is not tenable.

Dr. Erickson, a self-described 'fundamentalist of all fundamentalists,' charts the course from mysticism to rationality; draws the map from Jerusalem to Athens.

First, brick by brick, he develops the logical basis for rejecting authoritarianism and taking away its power to prevent us from finding our own truth.  Then he sketches out a possible framework for 'lives of goodness for its own sake.'

The style and tone of the book are on the one hand intellectual, philosophical, scientifically psychological and ruthlessly logical, following the rules of professional discourse.  But on the other hand, the book is deeply personal, revealing a lifetime of commitment to faith, scholarship, ministry, counseling and calling for social justice.
