Worse still — and more to the point
of my concern — the translation
of the one Word
of God into direct social and political terms has
meant that the churches neglect the message for which they do have
sole responsibility, that which constitutes their specific raison d'etre, and which no other agency in the world is called on or is competent to proclaim: the gospel
of Holy Scripture which has the power to make people wise unto
salvation through faith in Christ Jesus (2 Timothy 3:15).
