Doing theology with non-Christians

...and new Christians.

I find time and again that talking to non-Christians forces me to take my theology to another level. 'I pray', says Paul to Philemon, 'that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ' (1:6). Unbelievers are not satisfied with the pat answers and unexplained terminology that Christians all too readily accept.

(p. 152, Tim Chester and Steve Timmis, Total Church: A radical reshaping around gospel and community, IVP)

Recent examples from my life:

  • Free will
  • Satan
