Roger writes about theologian Stan Grenz to the google groups:
Thanks so much for using my systematics prof. , friend and mentor Stan Grenz as your resource! What a loss at his early death. He and Donald Bloesch walk closely together in thinking/ genereous orthodoxy. Stan did a year with Pannenberg and had Pannenberg come to NABS to lecture in the 80's. He came here to Pierre and did work with the lay people of the church for a study weekend along with Dr, Eugene Wherle, the two went at it in our living room one evening it was wonderful. Stans, "The Social God and the Relational Self" goes much deeper as indicated by his sutitle, A Trinitarian Theology of the Imago Dei". Danald G. Bloesch, "The Battle for the Trinity" is a clasic defence against Liberationist attempt to resymbolize the Bible, distorting and destroying its authority and balance for all people. Unfortunately it put Bloesch on the fringes of UCC OKness if not on the sidelines, little did he care, thanks be to Jesus. His final 7 volume "Christian Foundations" should be required reading for every seminarian going into a UCC church. In S.D. they are putting people on an ordination track that have NO theological education what so ever. Sad, the red ink will keep flowing from this. Blessings--- Roger
