Dishonest to God.

In 1963 a momentous volume was published which set the modest Anglican decline into a kind of avalanche of disbelief.
Although not entirely devoid of merit, the book 'Honest to God' by John Robinson was in effect, a justification for the undermining of belief.
Riddled with the dubious theology of Bonhoeffer, the so-called demythologising of Rudolf Bultmann all added to a twist of heresy, a soupçon of blasphemy, a smattering of existentialist philosophy and an over reliance on situation ethics - it is hardly possible to consider this to be a Christian work of any type.
Its influence however, permeated through the liberal theological colleges like a dose of salts and ran into mainstream churches like a torrent of effluent into a watercourse.
Naturally, this downturn was not confined to the Anglican Church - its influence ran far more broadly.
It was a true Satansend for the godless 'chattering classes' and the atheistic 'liberal elite'.
The Church today is paying a massive price from the effects of this book by a true fifth columnist.
It is to be hoped that John Robinson repented before meeting his Maker!
