A rebel is one who breaks with tradition or with some widely accepted organisation or set of ideas. In neither case does Jensen seem in the Che Guevara class.

Take, for example, the origin of the current crisis, the consecration in the United States of an openly gay man as a bishop. Most Australians would know this is a break with Anglican tradition. But many seem to believe it represents some sort of mainstream opinion within contemporary Anglicanism. This is not so.

Wright begins by saying that every interpretation of Scripture depends upon the worldview of those who interpret it. He further claims that one must adopt a worldview that reflects Scripture itself. To that end he sees Scripture as a five act play: 1) an original good creation; 2) sin and the corruption of creation; 3) Israel; 4) Jesus; 5) the church in the world (p. 125).

The media and the academy quickly sided with the revolutionaries and began to exert an ever-increasing influence on Christian churches.
