For my Anthropology class I’m reading a fascinating book by Ronald Allen called “The Majesty of Man” which has this quote that made me pause in surprise and awe. What a true statement–yet so well-put that I almost missed it entirely. 
I am a humanist. In truth, I believe it is only a thoroughgoing Christian who can ever have a right to that name. J .I. Packer, Knowing God
The word “humanism” has become the new shibboleth, the new watchword, in some evangelical circles. One who uses this word positively is in considerable danger of immediate judgement by the Jephthah’s of our day. Blood still flows at the fords of the Jordan.
Wow. Oh, and if you have no idea what that quote is talking about, read the book of Judges.
