"The abandonment of tower-building"

Jesus' parables of the tower builder and the warrior king are not really about the cost of discipleship, says Andy Crouch, but the cost of non-discipleship. And they're of special value for counteracting American hubris (HT: In the Clearing).

Update: Mike Russell has posted a rebuttal.

Milton:

I think Crouch's article is classic eisogesis. I hope to present my rebuttal later today at EP (http://eternalperspectives.com/. Sorry 'bout the link: blogger won't accept html tags in comments.)

Thanks, Andy, for continuing the conversation. Both you and Mike have given me a lot to think about and continue looking into. Peace.
