He...Thank you, Derek, for your early a.m. thoughts. Here's one from left field: Early Christians were pressed to articulate their experiences and convictions in multiple cultural and intellectual environments, as Christianity spread from its roots in Palestine. Palestine was, itself, already a cultural crossroads, and as the evangelical movement encountered non-Semitic cultures, it was inevitable, even necessary, that the nascent Church came to express itself in a variety of terms. What Knitter is enabling and inviting us to do is to look at some of those formulations from a different vantage point since, for him, the process was re-freshing.
