Ever heard of Harry Emerson Fosdick? He and his fellow so-called “modernists” before, with and after him (though nothing is modern about their denial of sound doctrine) have been lurking wherever they can get for many years.
Yep. I studied at Boston U Seminary and was trained in Philosophy by Dr. Steinkraus, a Phd at the same school. Know Fosdick well and you are correct. This was started as a serious intellectual study but it turned into an ideologically purist tyranny by the 70’s. The effect of Harvard Divinity school and Crane Theological school at Tufts U were instrumental in bringing about this change.
