Johnson's article here doesn't compare to his brutal and devastating critique of evolution. In terms of doctrine, he's pulling his punches.

Still, not a bad article, some good observations here for the non-Orthodox who want to learn a little more about the Orthodox and their appeal to modern Americans. Given their recent growth in numbers, the Orthodox deserve closer attention in any event. But this article is only marginally helpful in exploring the Orthodox churches and their current appeal.

Johnson seems oblivious to the defining doctrines of the Reformation, almost as though the Reformation was primarily a political event. Perhaps to him, it was.

Actually, I don't think that Johnson is "pulling his punches" so much as failing to identify the field of combat. I am reminded of Charles Colson's embrace of "Evangelicals and Catholics Together". Is Charles Colson a heretic? I don't bloody well think so. Has he been a great witness of the Evangelical Protestant faith to the Imprisoned and Forgotten sinners in our criminal justice system? He bloody well has indeed.

Has he correctly indentified the field of theological combat between Romans and Protestants? It is evident in the declarations of ECT, that he has not.

Chuck Colson and Phillip Johnson. Two devout Evangelical Protestants; two brilliant Legally-trained Logicians; two men who don't really understand the Reformation -- Colson in terms of Roman Catholics, Johnson in terms of Eastern Orthodox.
