What exactly does it mean when someone levels an accusation that an individual, or a church, or even a whole denomination, affirms “bad theology”? Is it intended to start a conversation? To correct that theology? To bring something into view that might not otherwise be apparent? Is it just a tool of high-control religious environments? In this episode, Dan takes a look at this idea and argues that it can be any and all of these, with very different aims and effects.
