Otherwise it's hearsay. Besides that, it doesn't detract from the fact that he does use Scripture a great deal.

Sure it does...Especially since scripture takes a back seat when it comes to the historical writings of your magisterium and your church fathers...

The theology classes that Chris would have taken as a college freshman were quite Scriptural (and also quite Calvinist). I suspect the philosophy classes were as well. I know this because I took several of them (the ones that made up the required humanities core).

And the Theology classes you took, did they not teach you from the bible that, " Salvation meant being made a son of God."

It's all over the bible...Why would a student of Christianity not know that???

We talked about sonship, but we also talked a whole lot about imputed righteousness and forensic justification too. I'm sure he had a far better background though than I did, that he knew it, but in never really sunk in until that point that he mentioned; I fall in the "Catholic with mediocre catechesis" category. I was far too busy taking it all in that freshman year of college.

That said, really understanding that salvation meant being a son of God had a profound effect on my life, and has truly been a great gift.
