This is all so monotonously predictable. Keller seemed to be doing in the last book what he always seemed to do--triangulate. That was Bill Clinton's strategy--and it helped him win elections. There's a story that is worth looking into on Moore. He had been on the editorial masthead of Touchstone Magazine, then mysteriously disappeared from it. (Touchstone is more than complementarian--it's patriarchal.) I happen to know that some of the editors there were never comfortable with him from the start. The impression I have of him at a distance is he's a climber. I've wondered the same about Alastair Roberts.

I like Russell Moore and Tim Keller, yet can't help but think any strategy that involves creeping leftward (right on Keller's diagram) enough to throw the fundamentalists overboard, so the rest of conservative (?) protestantism looks appealing again to today's culture is pathetically misguided.

As Jordan Peterson says, we need to "grow some teeth". I'm all for diplomacy, and God knows there are plenty of Christians who are obnoxious just for their own ego's sake, but we have to play some offense, too, even if - God forbid - someone gets offended sometimes. Considering how far our once Christian culture has slid, isn't that obvious??
