Messianic Ethics?

John Howard Yoder’s still influential The Politics of Jesus
continues to evoke responses from a variety of angles within the large umbrella of “religious studies.”

While I’m most familiar with the historical responses to Yoder, here is an interesting piece on the possible ethical implications of Yoder’s work on politics and early followers of Jesus (and Jesus himself):

Southern Baptists Show Us the Door

The Baptist State Convention is this week and it looks like the Southern Baptists have moved to put up more walls along with border with us Cooperative Baptists.

As a member of the CBF, I don’t have a problem with not finding approval from my more conservative Baptist kinfolk, but it is a shame that we can’t find common ground over the cacophony of politics.

I’m sure Jesus is proud.

NC So. Baptists cut ties with Coop. Baptist Fellowship | CITIZEN-TIMES.com | Asheville Citizen-Times: “The Greensboro News & Record reports that delegates to the 2008 Baptist State Convention in Greensboro have voted to remove the Cooperative Baptist Fellowship from a list of giving options for mission work.

The Cooperative Baptist Fellowship was established as an alternative to the conservative Southern Baptist Convention. The group does not support the belief that the Bible is entirely without error, and the cooperative is willing to partner with churches that put gays into leadership roles.

Matt Williamson, pastor of Oak Forest Baptist Church in Fletcher, offered the proposal and said liberal theology will lead to liberal morality.

Remind me to not go to Oak Forest since I’ll infect them with my “liberal morality.”
