On Heresy and Heretics

from Why I'm Not

Was Jonathan Edwards a heretic for believing he could own other humans? How can we give him a pass for being a product of the spirit of his age, and then critique others today for views we believe are too influenced by our times? These are some of the points I'll hit as I introduce "Why I'm Not," a journey of verbal processing and theological reflection on my journey in and through Christian fundamentalism.
