Introduction

In the opening pages and chapters of The Mosaic of Christian Belief Olson introduces the concept of what he calls a ?Both-And? Theology.

Olson explains his desire to provide a handbook that is both sincerely and genuinely biblical and yet also remains faithful to the ?Great Tradition of Christianity.? He also introduces his intention to build bridges between the varying perspectives and interpretations of key issues of Christianity.

Olson intends to provide a “meditating theology” that emphasizes the common ground and unity of belief among Christians.

-Are the lines of orthodoxy and heresy being blurred? Are they being crossed?

-What doctrines does the program espouse?

-Are there any doctrines that are being presented that are not in line with the Great Tradition?
