Back in 2017 when I was trying to convince Christian Pastors, theologians, ministry leaders and other religious figures that our theology proper and our concepts of epistemology were being deconstructed, many had a hard time with the concept that the church would be under attack from within. There was a problem of seeing the faces and personalities of men that were “highly spoken of” that were now deconstructing the Christian faith in a dialectical fashion.
The deconstruction was occurring through the primary tools of seminaries, denominations, and parachurch ministries. And hence, this is why in the summer of 2018 I recorded a podcast that was titled “Evangelical Seminaries: Deconstruction Zones.”
And from the summer of 2018 the deconstruction only worsened. In many instances, creating division was the only concern – enough division that would divide the body of Christ.
In 2018, the Gospel Coalition released the study, “Derrida, Foucault, and the Bible.”
The course description stated the following:
“This course will help you see what Derrida and Foucault are really saying, and show you how you can bring their thought into conversation with the Bible. You will get an accessible introduction to the thought of two of the most influential French philosophers of recent decades, and you will learn methods for fostering meaningful engagement between philosophical ideas and biblical doctrine.”
The Gospel Coalition serves as a warning that Neo-Marxist concepts such as deconstruction are being introduced to Christians by the very people who were responsible for guarding them against evil: the pastors, seminaries, and institutions that were created to guard against dangerous ideologies.
