Title
Pastors and the Church Struggle(s)
joel lawrence
Abstract
Bonhoeffer viewed the Church Struggle of the 1930’s not as a political struggle or a war of ideas but as a theological event. So it is with the struggles of the American evangelical church today. The fault lines fracturing the church are not primarily political or cultural but theological. A renewed commitment by the church to hearing and being confronted by the Word of the Lord will require that pastor theologians focus on the vital task of listening to and speaking the Word to the church.
