Tired of endless uncertainties and doctrinal repaintings

From Why We’re Not Emergent, a book that I reviewed yesterday:

I’m convinced there are just as many of us – Christian and not – in our postmodern world who are tired of endless uncertainties and doctrinal repaintings. We are tired of indecision and inconsistency reheated and served to us as paradox and mystery. Some of us long for teaching that has authority, ethics rooted in dogma, and something unique in this world of banal diversity. We long for Jesus – not a shapeless, formless, goodhearted ethical teacher Jesus, but the Jesus of the New Testament, the Jesus of the church, the Jesus of faith, the Jesus of two millennia of Christian witness with all of its unchanging and edgy doctrinal propositions.
