| Robert Jenson - a giant fraud among apostates. |
 |
| Braaten and Jenson were both Pietists who taught UOJ Universalism. A co-inky-dink? |
Because God Is: A Tribute to Robert W. Jenson (1930-2017) | Christianity Today:
 |
| Braaten considers himself "confessional," and an Evangelical Catholic, whatever that is. |
 |
| UOJ came from Pietism, as Stephan and Walther prove, and the terms that delighted Walther - from a Calvinist's explanation. |
"Rubbing shoulders with giants
Jens lived an active and productive life. A seminary and college professor over a period of nearly 50 years, he first taught at Luther College in Decorah, Iowa, before moving to Oxford University, Gettysburg Seminary, and St. Olaf College. He then spent seven years as the director of the Center for Theological Inquiry in Princeton, New Jersey, before retiring in 2007.
He wrote and edited several dozen books, including a much-praised two-volume Systematic Theology, and over 100 articles and chapters. He was a pioneer in the ecumenical movement; he helped to spearhead the initial Episcopal-Lutheran dialogue, served the Catholic-Lutheran dialogue for over ten years, and, with his close friend Carl Braaten, founded The Center for Catholic and Evangelical Theology and edited the Center’s influential ecumenical journal, Pro Ecclesia."

GJ - On one website, such articles are accompanied by such warnings as "hurl alert" and "projectile vomiting alert." But that is hardly enough here. Braaten and Jenson gathered their friends, like Forde, to produce their two-volume Dogmatics. The purpose was to show ELCA that one could still write about God. But the books denied every article of faith, from the divinity of Christ to His Virgin Birth, to His atoning death and resurrection. Yes, they denied the Trinity too. What was left? The less the Enthusiasts believe, the more they write. See the WELS Justification files for this.
Here is an interesting note from someone:
What is the purpose of your blog? I am intrigued at the mixture of
Christian and nonChristian content, stories and statements. Are you a Christian?
Are you a Lutheran? Do you hate Christians? Do you hate Lutherans? I really want
to understand what the mission is. Thanks!

Gerhard Forde was part of this project, and the LCMS is hotter than Georgia asphalt for Forde - maybe because he is German.
