Over the past 20 to 30 years we have lived in the midst of an ecclesiastical battle that is still being waged today. When I entered seminary in the mid ‘1980’s, the battle lines were just beginning to be drawn up- at least in the Reformed camp. The “war” was over the right use of the pulpit and centered on restoring the gospel to its rightful place.
Now as far back as the 1950’s, theologians were sounding the alarm that the gospel was going into eclipse in evangelical and Reformed pulpits. At first few listened. Yet the battle took a decisive turn in the 1970’s and 1980’s when conservative and orthodox seminaries, denominations, and churches woke up and realized that what was being passed off as preaching at best, was political or social commentaries on the day, or, at worst, moralism.
