Albert Mohler on Pope Francis

As a counter-point to last week's class in which we heard Johns Shelby Spong speak on the value of a mystical reading of the Gospel of John, this week we'll have a look at the writing of Albert Mohler on some of the words of Pope Francis. Mohler is a conservative, evangelical, fundamentalist, and president of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary. In addition to being an impressively skille writer, Mohler, is a theological exclusivist, believing that Jesus is the only way to salvation. He interprets the Gospel of John literally, where Spong takes a much different approach. The contrast between the two positions is worth a look, and one we'll take through a reading of one of Mohler's recent blog entries, available here: click me. Join us!
