I'm reading a book (2019) in which this quote from an Amos Young (Fuller Seminary) appears:

I'll find out from whence it came later. This is very close to Croasmun's view of Sin (2016) and uses the exact same language as that of emergent entities. This is also my hypothetical view of the Powers.

In just a year, I've discovered two reputable, mainstream, conservative scholars who've reached a theological "conclusion" I reached in 2015. It appears more than one person is independently reading the biblical material & arriving at the same basic conclusions. That's positive.

The biblical evidence is mounting. It's difficult to notice the subject in the text unless you know to look for it. Then, once you've understood its characteristics, you start to see the characteristics even when the subject isn't expressly named. This is why the evidence mounts.

Amos Yong, The Spirit of Creation (2011).

Croasmun does not mention Yong. However, in the book I reading today, the author notes Yong building off of Phillip Clayton who has three works on Emergent Theory & theology noted by Croasmun. Ok.

Croasmun's The Emergence of Sin was the best I read in 2021. Just yesterday I considered reading it again. Then today, I just happened to read a book I've had in my stack for months that mentions in passing emergent theory & two theologians on the subject.
