Interpreting the Interpreters...

This is what Carson says:

"So which shall we choose?

Experience or truth? The left wing of an airplane, or the right? Love or integrity? Study or service? Evangelism or discipleship? The front wheels of the car, or the rear? Subjective knowledge or objective knowledge? Faith or obedience?

Damn all false antitheses to hell, for they generate false gods, they perpetuate idols, they twist and distort our souls, they launch the church into violent pendulum swings whose oscillations succeed in only dividing brothers and sisters in Christ."

From: Becoming Conversand with the Emerging Church, 234

Here is what Carson really means: Can't they just get along with us? Can't they just start reading their Bibles and end up in evangelical orthodoxy?
