Christian Teachers and Their Knowledge

What I want to talk to you about now is really extremely important. It has to do with how you take your ministry and your life into your world and your community and your churches and I’ll just start out with the statement, which is on the screen:

“The historical displacement of the content of Christian

tradition out of the category of knowledge and into the

category of mere ‘faith’ has destroyed the standing of the

Christian teacher in contemporary society. Nothing is more important today than the recovery of the church as the

unique purveyor of essential knowledge in response to

the four great questions of life.”

So, please make a note to retie this to the questions—What is reality? Who is well off? Who is a really good person? How do you get to be? Now, what I want to impress upon you is that what is provided to you by Jesus Christ and the tradition in which He stands is knowledge of the answers to those questions. [1:26]

So, we have to talk about knowledge and how it differs from belief and faith and also how it differs from commitment and profession. See, most of our Christian groups now try to operate on profession and because of that, in many cases, we don’t even have belief or perhaps we only ha

Dallas Willard’s 3 Fears About the Spiritual Formation Movement

As a young man, I was privileged to be an eyewitness to the rise of the Christian spiritual formation movement.

It began, in its modern form, in 1978, when Richard Foster wrote what has become the perennially standard text on the spiritual disciplines, Celebration of Discipline. Within a few years of its publication, Christians who had never heard of solitude, silence, or meditation were now practicing these disciplines.

A lot of good was happening, but Richard saw that many Christians were practicing the disciplines in isolation and needed more guidance. So in 1988, he asked Dallas Willard, me, and a few others to join him in forming a spiritual formation ministry called Renovaré (Latin for “to renew”).

Dallas, who served as a philosophy professor at the University of Southern California for 40 years, was one of the most important pioneers in the spiritual formation movement among evangelicals and mainline Protestants.
