Bob LaRocca and Jared Oliphint lead a critical discussion of John Franke’s book Manifold Witness: The Plurality of Truth. Franke argues plurality and diversity are intrinsic elements of Christianity as he develops a corresponding system of truth and meaning.
Participants: Bob LaRocca, Camden Bucey, Jared Oliphint, Jonathan Brack

So Biblical Theological Seminary has gone emergent?! Is this not the old Faith Theological Seminary? (As in Francis Schaeffer and Carl McIntyre?) Is this another example of pietism leading to heterodoxy?
Biblical began as Biblical School of Theology in 1971 through the shared vision of Dr. Allan A. MacRae, former president of Faith Theological School, and Dr. Jack W. Murray, president of Biblie Evangelism, Inc.
Hey guys, great show! Spot on! And, for what its worth, you all were very fair to Franke. At least it appeared to me that you were able to be critical without being demeaning. And your criticism ought to solicit a response from Franke. I would be interested to hear how he might reply.
Thanks, Jim!
Jared,
Me thinks that perhaps Franke is experiencing an epistemic failure.
Blessings,

Apparently, Franke announced last week that he is leaving Biblical Seminary to become Theologian in Residence at a church in Allentown, PA:
