Gobbledygook. MacArthur doesn’t have the faintest idea what he’s talking about. I bet he’s never even read any Barth. Anyone who knows Barth, Niebuhr, Kierkegaard and the last two centuries of historical theology is laughing himself silly as he reads this.

I wouldn’t give this a passing grade if one of my freshmen turned it in as a term paper.

MacArthur has cobbled it together from sound-byte/Cliff’s Notes/internet wallpaper. He stitches a few word-associations together but has not notion of what the words mean (existentialist, postmodern Neo-Orthodox).

Knowing MacArthur personally, and not knowing you, I will side with MacArthur. I know for a fact that he is VERY well read, and is a Bible scholar of the highest order. He speaks from a deep knowledge of the subject.

Now, having read your ad hominem attack on one of the finest Bible teachers in the country, perhaps the world, would you care to be specific in your "criticism"?

“dream analysis, positive confession, and a host of other therapies and practices coming directly from occult and Eastern religions”

Hey John I guess that makes Daniel and Joseph occult followers. MacArthur is really beginning to confuse himself alot these days.

I’m shocked at how many people follow these internet theologians as if they are somehow authoritative.

To expand Litekeeper’s request, why don’t you write an essay for us that you merit an “A”?
