It is notit cannot bea case of either/or. Why have different denominationsall leaning on the Bibleemerged with different emphases? Differing views of sin, of man, of Christ and his work, of the nature and purpose of the church, all seem to be in head-on opposition . . . until the author explains how these opposites are held together in tension. Each of the views is truebut each, by itself, is incomplete. Three basic concepts of sin (Is it rebellion, guilt, bondageor all three?) lead to the concepts that man must be either a rebel or a slave. The person and work of Christ must also be seen in different ways. Either Jesus came to turn man away from his rebellious ways or he came mainly to atone for mans guilt. Or did he come to rescue man who was helplessly in bondage? For the first time in many centuries, Christians of different faiths are coming together as brothers. Should we seek the lowest common denominator, ignoring our differences, in the quest for unity? The author sees a real threat in trying to choose either/or. The different denominations need each other, he emphasizes, but they need each other as different denominations.
