The Uncertain Future of Protestantism
Leading representatives of
different models of conservative American Protestantism gathered at Biola
University to discuss and debate the “Future of Protestantism.” Peter Leithart,
an ecumenically-oriented apostle of “Reformational catholicism” faced down Fred
Sanders of Biola, a spokesman for the “unwashed masses of low-church evangelicals”
and Carl Trueman of Westminster Seminary, an unapologetic representative of
Calvinistic confessionalism. Those hoping for a hard-hitting debate, or a quick
and full resolution of the questions, were bound to be disappointed: the three
interlocutors were much too patient, irenic, and thoughtful for that. No, it
was a conversation, and like almost all good conversations,
inconclusive, an invitation to further conversation.
