message. Those outside of the Christian faith have often
reacted to the Christian presentation and proclamation,
finding particularly offensive the legitimate assertions of
exclusivity concerning the singular reconciliation of man
with God through Jesus Christ. As the Christian
presentation is typically argued, though, the offense to non-
Christian inquirers may be quite valid. If the argument is
simply that my belief-system is superior to your belief-
system (and any other belief-system), then such an
offensive (double entendre intended) approach to
exclusivism is indeed pompous and elitist.
When Christians proudly assert sole claim to absolute
information and exact understanding of precise precepts of
moral standards, they have set themselves up as gods on
their own playground. When Christian presentation stoops
to the level of mere apologetic reasoning and argument
concerning tenets of mental assent, then the relativistic
battleground is but a gory picture of the blind beating out
the brains of the blind.
Perhaps the foregoing has given the reader a glimpse of
what the "evangelical heresy" might entail. Further
explanation will first require closer definition.
