[edit] Merge Controversy

I think that the controversy page should just be merged as a section here. Might help resolve the NPOV issues there, as well. PhatJew 10:59, 14 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Schools of thought

I added a section on schools of thought in Christian theology...made it alphabetic for NPOV purposes, but thought that perhaps it could be / should be divided into larger sections...i.e., Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism, Protestantism, with appropriate links in those sub-sections. Thoughts? KHM03 20:52, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

[edit] references?

Isn't the reference section supposed to be for information sources used to create the article? I wouldn't think it would take all of those sources to create a link page, which is what this article is at the moment. Liblamb 04:49, 27 July 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Something which may interest editors of this page

Any help which could be provided would be greatly appreciated. Agriculture 07:37, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Covenantalism

I removed this from the list of "schools of theology" because it is primarily a Calvinist subgenre. I may be wrong; if so, let's talk about it. KHM03 12:37, 18 October 2005 (UTC)

I think that Covenant Theology should be included. First, while it is primarily advocated among Calvinists, it is not necessarily so; and such can also be said of New Covenant Theology. And Dispensationalism is likewise attached to baptistic fundamentalists, though not exclusively (e.g. Reformed Baptists are baptistic fundamentalists-of-a-sort that are some of the strongest advocates of Covenant Theology, among some, and New Covenant Theology, among others). Three weeks ago I added it back. The lack of interest says something. :-/ Cool. No prob.    GUÐSÞEGN   – UTEX – 21:31, 6 April 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Wesleyanism

Contarini 17:30, 18 October 2007 (UTC)This term is used broadly to refer to mainline Methodism as well as its various offshoots. It can also denote specific denominations--in the U.S. (and apparently in New Zealand) the "Wesleyans" are a more conservative/radical offshoot of the tradition, but in Britain for a long time the "Wesleyans" were the "mainline" Methodist denomination in contrast t more radical groups. It is therefore best to define the term first and foremost in terms of the broad theological tradition

[edit] Didache

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Didache#Didache_Title_Translation_Question

Anyone interested in looking into this one. Simonapro 18:39, 14 May 2006 (UTC)]

[edit] Suggestion

"Present Day COntroversies" seems laden with POV. In particular, the focus on Pentacostalism and the charismata seems too in-depth for this article, and should be a seperate article or included in a different article. There are plenty of other contemporary debates in modern theology. Pastordavid 19:32, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] New thought

I removed Christian Science out of the New Thought list. It really developed differently and is not considered New Thought.
