Essay.

This essay will discuss the connections between postmodern teacher Rob Bell’s lecture, “Everything is Spiritual (2007), and the teachings of Mick Duncan on foundation level Christian Worldview and Theism. As this year has unfolded, the biggest revelation, for me, has been the increasing nature of the grey areas of Christianity. While many Christians adamantly support Rob Bell’s teachings, many at Carey Baptist College included, a definite number also label him a false teacher, warning to ‘be careful’ while reading his books. Rob Bell himself invites us to question all teaching, including his own, to 'jump on the trampoline' and continue bouncing ideas around.  I personally have found this extremely confusing. I am starting to see all preaching as one of many interpretations and all teaching as just one of many, which all appear as valid as the others. Thus, this postmodern culture has led me to carefully consider: What are the core concepts my faith is based on, considering so much is uncertain?
