Andy Stanley, Modern Liberal

Andy Stanly claims that when preaching to the unchurched, it is pointless to use phrases like "The Bible says" because the Bible carries no authority with the unchurched. This claim is not entirely unfounded but what Christians hear Stanley saying is the Bible is not authoritative for believers and unbelievers. This has the effect of eroding and weakening the authority of the Bible in the minds of those who attend churches where the pastor and the other members of the leadership team have been strongly influenced by Stanley's books, sermons, talks, and videos. One of the results is that they are exploring liberal views of the Bible both as individuals and in small groups. Among the casualties of this development is the doctrine of the perspicuity of Scripture, that is, ordinary Christians can read and understand the Bible without having special knowledge and can grasp what they need to know for their salvation.
