The article defends the decision to relocate him to the history department because it's a contradiction to be employed by an confessional organization whose confession your reject. He then goes on to say that really there need not be tension between being a civil servant of the state and an employee of the church at the same time. Tension may arise (i.e. between commitment to confessional creeds and commitment to "objective" truth), but he then brushes this aside with the following statement: "The conflict between personal faith and critical Biblical scholarship is not unusual. It usually already occurs at an undergraduate level, particularly for those students with a Pietistic background. It doesn't take long, however, for these students to grasp the fact that it's not history that creates faith, but faith that creates history."<br /><br />No wonder he doesn't feel the tension himself.Phil Sumpterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16491514886782881340noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6547653347296107692.post-2282834077276085932010-06-26T19:25:58.654+02:002010-06-26T19:25:58.654+02:00Philip,
