This withdrawal of theology from the world.... : Quote by Lesslie Newbigin

“ This withdrawal of theology from the world of secular affairs is made more complete by the work of biblical scholars whose endlessly fascinating exercises have made it appear to the lay Christian that no one untrained in their methods can really understand anything the Bible says. We are in a situation analogous to one about which the great Reformers complained. The Bible has been taken out of the hands of the layperson it has now become the professional property not of the priesthood but of the scholars. ”
