Kevin Giles would say so. But is he right?
Con Campbell, in a review article from the Churchman archives, will show us the errors of the charges he makes and how Arianism is secretly smuggled into Giles’ own flawed presupposition: that authority inevitably implies superiority and subordination implies inferiority. See how this presupposition drives him to misread church history and fail to make a case against complementarians anyway.
This article will help you see where Giles is coming from; understand his flawed assumption; give you a good overview of his case; help us see what people think about conservative evangelicals, and respond well.
A question to consider as you read: For Giles the Trinitarian relations are fundamentally power based relations. Is that fair?
Oh – and don’t forget Rahner’s dictum. Maybe it’s time to dig out those notes! [Ed. I dug out my notes: ‘The Economic Trinity reveals the Immanent Trinity’!]
