- Dismissing The article
The premise of the article was that Protestant theologians have "over-objectified" Christ by emphasizing his external work in our lives - namely his death, burial, and resurrection which were designed to redeem us of our sins. The author dismisses that and instead argues that the real focus of Jesus' teachings is that we should live like Christ - that we should make Jesus a part of our soul/spirit/consciousness.
I believe the author is wrong to dismiss, to set aside, the redemptive work of Christ. The death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ for our sins is the most important aspect of Jesus' ministry. It is the real reason he came. That's my beef with the article.
