Typically, the top schools of divinity that specialize in biblical studies are, Oxford, Yale, University of Chicago, Harvard,  and The Pontifical Biblical Insitute and the Studium Biblicum Franciscum for the Catholics.

The reputation of the place where Danny Burk got his PHD is not that... great, if you compare it to the Pontifical Biblical Insitute as an example.

Evangelical Theology ? Well there's no theology at all. Evangelicals reject them. There's no good systematic theology that deals with the nature of god, sin, who Jesus is, the Trinity, the spirtual life,

Compare Evangelical Theology to Anglican Theology, Reformed Theology, it doesn't have to be Catholic.

Yes, the bible is super important, the word of god, but if you pick and choose quotes out of context, or in this case misread them, well you're screwed.

     Indeed, greed is a great evil and it bothers me to see the extent to which Republican leaders are blind to it. I don't subscribe to the notion that voting for strong entitlement programs is a Christian duty as some will say (though neither am I hostile to these programs as I once was), but glorifying greed is one of the great sins of American society and I always try to do better in my own life.

Far too many people in public positions are Christians only to the extent they can use it to judge the personal lives of others.

Christianity is completely incompatible with the grotesque American lifestyle that Republicans love. You can't be a gluttonous, greedy suburbanite and then claim to be a Christian. Well, you can, but the hottest parts of hell will be reserved for you.

There are a lot more obvious examples than gluttony and greed (see: video in my signature).

Sure, but what I'm arguing is that the privileged American lifestyle is completely incompatible with the Christian experience. If you want to compare Americans to anything in the Bible, compare them to the Romans.

Denny Burk accidentally confused two Bible verses, the verse he's quoting is from Jude.
