One of the most frustrating/stimulating professors I knew at seminary was Dr. Darrell Bock. He was both frustrating and stimulating because he expected his students to think critically when it came to theology and practice. He's done a favor again in pointing out the recent change in stance of Duane Litfin (Wheaton College president). You can read about it at his blog for February 9 on "Interacting with Islam and Joint Christian-Islamic Statements".

What leads to an insight like this and causes such a change? The "cure" for this kind of change is critical, Biblical thinking - of the kind Dr. Bock has long advocated. As another prof. used to say "They (and this certainly applies to Muslims) are not the enemy. They are victims of the enemy."
