No special privileges or perogatives should be allowed to insulate theological truth claims from the crucible of testing. To pour onelsefl out for the sake of the evangelical truth claim mean making the way of Christ intelligible, both theoretically and practically. It means living a life that embodies the Word in the power of the Spirit in a way that is able to meet, an pass, the critical tests of human reflecting and human existence.
