		<description><![CDATA[The other day I was reading something online about the Manhattan Declaration, and saw a comment stating that many evangelicals are hesitant to sign the document because it has been endorsed by Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic leaders, and so they were concerned about the loss of the Gospel. Idiots.   They haven&#8217;t stopped to consider [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I just read a post about the apparent failure of &#8220;The Evangelical Manifesto,&#8221; something I didn&#8217;t even know existed.  I guess that would support the idea that it failed.  I skimmed through the post and the Manifesto, and was left thinking, &#8220;why in the world do they think they need one?&#8221; Everyone seems to need [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The final chapter in Webber&#8217;s The Divine Embrace is entitled Life Together, which is, of course, where all this ends, in church. One of my repeated critiques of a contemporary church experience is that it is essentially existential, focusing on the self. Webber agrees, saying that the problem is that spirituality itself is taught as generating [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Some of you might recognize Everything must change as the title to a rather poor book by Brian McLaren which I reviewed some time back. While McLaren &#8211; in my opinion &#8211; failed miserably in laying out a case for why everything must change, I think Webber does just that quite well in The Divine Embrace, although [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Part three of The Divine Embrace is entitled &#8220;The Challenge: Returning Spirituality to the Divine Embrace,&#8221; which is an excellent encapsulation of Webber&#8217;s point: we don&#8217;t need to find anything new, we simply need to recapture the church&#8217;s original understanding of spirituality, rooted in God&#8217;s Story, in God&#8217;s Divine Embrace of us and the rest [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[In the opening paragraph to Chapter 4 of Robert Webber&#8217;s book, The Divine Embrace, Webber writes: Spirituality has become situated in the narrative of the self. In this privatized spirituality evangelicals look to themselves for the confirmation of their spiritual condition. The self-focused spiritualities of the twentieth century have not emerged willy-nilly but are deeply [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Lately I&#8217;ve been writing about Robert Webber&#8217;s final book, The Divine Embrace, which has been really helpful in putting together the thoughts that I&#8217;ve already been having about the state of American Evangelicalism. It&#8217;s really been a breath of fresh air, and has allowed me to finally shake off some of the unhelpful evangelical baggage [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The primary difference between the Reformation and the modern period of history is that the Reformation looked backward to regain the source of ancient church while the modern era, shaped by an anti-historical attitude, looked forward. As Webber explains in Chapter 3 of The Divine Embrace, the Reformers considered the Roman Church from about 1300 [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Webber, as I mentioned in part 1 of this series, defines spirituality as &#8220;a lived theology.&#8221; That is, Biblical spirituality is based on the core teachings of the Church, as expressed in the earliest creeds. The early heresies, such as Gnosticism and Arianism not only challenged theological ideas, but challenged those areas that directly impacted [...]]]></description>
