Relational Theology day 2024: Phil Parnham talk

We all know the Gospel is good news but how do we tell a better story in communicating it? Relational Theology is an exploration of the rich orthodoxy that exists between the polar extremes of Legalism and Liberalism, telling a better story than that which the church has often resorted to. As Tom Wright has pointed out, “the story of Scripture” all too often has been reduced to: God made the world; humans sinned; God sent Jesus; that’s OK then.” [1] Accordingly, our “popular version” of John 3:16 has ended up sounding more like: “God so hated the world, that he killed his only son”. [2] We so desperately need a better story! We need a story that is faithful to the biblical narrative and established Christian testimony – one that puts love back at the heart of the story and is truly good news for the whole earth – for Jew, Greek, slave, free, male and female (Galatians 3:28). We need a stronger gospel fluency that can land the good news into this cultural moment!
