Within My Heart by Michael A Van HornMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
Extremely important book for those looking to discern the influences behind today's subjective, individualistic and populous Christianity. Many Evangelicals/Fundamentalists will be surprised to find out that both Kant and Schleiermacher are not only precursors to today's liberal/progressive theology, but also a strong and significant influence on their core ways of doing and thinking about theology and the church as the body of Christ.
We breathe in the Enlightenment and Modernity like air, but are largely unaware of what shapes our default settings when it comes to reading the scriptures, understanding theology, and pursuing faithfulness as the church of Christ.
A scholastic, but readable and important work. This book will challenge most pastors to a slow and disciplined read, but the fruits of the labor will be well worth the cost.
