As per usual, Rollins does it again

You know how sometimes you just feel inept to even articulate your own thoughts and then someone comes along and does it for you? that’s always so helpful. As with Tony and my post below, Rollins has done it here. Be sure to read the whole thing.

PeterRollins.net » Blog Archive » We don’t need early Christianity, we need Proto-Christianity (making straight paths for a second coming)

Amidst all the claims that we need to return to an early Christianity (every new Christian movement seems to want to claim some return to the early Church, to the Church before Constantine, or before Greek thought or before the schisms – see my post entitled In Defense of Original Sin), we have eclipsed the truly revolutionary drive of Christian faith. A drive, not to return to the early church as such, but rather to return to the Event that gave birth to the early church.
