As I said, that would be absurd. Hence, I conclude it must not be what Pelikan intended, for he is a historian of good repute, as well as a seminarian with advanced degrees, as reported here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaroslav_Pelikan As is commonly understood in the field of hermaneutics or literary criticism, one's reading of an author reflects more about you than the author. On a happy note, I offer this quote of Pelikan's "If Christ is risen, nothing else matters. And if Christ is not risen -- nothing else matters." For those who want scriptural support for this quote, see 1 Corinthians 15:14 "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." |
