Last week Jefferson Bethke’s video “I love Jesus but I hate Religion” went vrial and the blogosphere when haywire. Here is a collection of some of the best responses I’ve read:
Spencer hits the nail on the head.
Chong makes some helpful distinctions.
Marc offers his thoughts from a Catholic perspective.
Christian underlines the false dichotomies.
Roger offers his insights (and some interesting background information)
Jonathan is troubled by the art and the theology (be sure to check out the comments section as well)
My friends weigh in with some of their thoughts (via facebook).
To be sure, none is this is meant to be hating on Jefferson – he is a well meaning guy and admits that he would have done things differently following the “fallout” of this video – props to Kevin deYoung for his wonderful pastoral response to Jefferson (and to Jefferson’s openness and willingness to listen).
And, in case for some reason you missed it – here is the link to the video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1IAhDGYlpqY&feature=player_embedded
