Missio Dei

Okay this was weird. Craig Detweiler produced a documentary called Purple State of Mind, which looks like a conversation between he (a Christ follower) and his friend (who rejected Christianity). In this deleted scene (and I’d love to know why it was deleted) Craig explores the origins of fundamentalism.

Turns out fundamentalism was started by Lyman Stewart, who founded Biola University, my former school. Lyman was attempting to create a set of 12 fundamentals in response to Darwinism.

I appreciate what Craig “wants” to do. He says, “My job is to put the “fun” back in, to take the “da” out, and restore the mental.”

Good luck Craig.
