Witherington on Reimagining Church

September 13, 2008 | Posted by Ray Fowler

Ben Witherington posted a mammoth four-part review of Frank Viola’s Reimagining Church and then invited Frank to respond. The links are below.

Ben’s review:

Frank Viola’s Reimagining Church– Part One
Frank Viola’s Reimagining Church– Part Two
Frank Viola’s Reimagining Church– Part Three
Frank Viola’s Reimagining Church– Part Four

Frank’s response:

Reimagining Church– A Frank Response Part One
Reimagining Church– A Frank Response Part Two

Closing words from Ben and Frank:

EPILOGUE TO A FRANK DISCUSSION
A FRANK CODA

Ben has some strong critiques of Frank’s book and doesn’t pull any punches, yet the conversation remains respectful throughout. It is nice to see two Christians treating each other with civility and grace even when they disagree with each other — especially on the internet of all places!
