Our Generation's Bad Tolerance

Thomas Schreiner
"In a world where tolerance is valued and the rigidity of the past generation is rejected, we are inclined to go to the other extreme. Is it the case that Paul's anathemas here (Galatians 1:8-9) seem to be ill-mannered and unloving? Such sentiments reveal how far we have strayed from the biblical witness, indicating that our churches have not rightly balanced the doctrines of God's holiness and his love."
 ~ Galatians (ZECNT)
