No more pantheons

Dan Edelen warns of the dangers in creating a pantheon of Christian writers:

It bothers me sometimes that we treat great Christians as if they could never, ever, in a billion years have a mistaken position on an important piece of doctrine. The Godblogosphere is bristling with defenders of this great Christian or that, and God help anyone who questions that great Christian for even one second! People are so dogmatically in one corner massaging the shoulders of their Spurgeon, Tozer, Aquinas, or Merton and whispering into their man's ear, "Throw the uppercut this round!" that they're blind to their hero's own glass jaw.

In short, Dan sheds much-needed light on the relevance of 1 Cor. 3:1-11 today.
