Fuller Theological Seminary President Richard Mouw was invited to be a part of a roundtable of thinkers commenting on the Pope’s recent visit to the US for the New York Times.
But the attraction of a pope-in-a-stadium has its own unique meaning, I think. In a “post-modern” age Benedict represents something that is decidedly pre-modern. He comes to America as one who knows how to walk ancient paths. He models a chastity that stands in sharp contrast to the easy promiscuity of our culture. Yet he is conversant with our present-day patterns of thought. He brings much learning to what he has to say to us.
From Richard Mouw’s Stadium Religion
You can read his three posts here:
- I really liked his thoughts on Evangelicals and Catholics in Dialogue: Why the Pope Speaks for Evangelicals, Too
- On Faith and Human Rights
- Stadium Religion
