As I observe on the article, Diogenes Allen’s attempt to develop a Christian theology of other faithsrepresents a dangerous compromise with the spirit of the age, an unnecessary concession to the relativism and pluralism that have infected modern intellectual life. Allen’s entire framework, with its emphasis on best "estimates," dialogue with other religions, and reliance on empirical and academic domains of knowledge, reveals a deep departure from biblical authority.

I would argue that Christian theology does not need to be re-engineered to accommodate postmodern sensitivities or the academic respectability that Allen seems so eager to attain. Instead, I would insist that the clarity, authority, and sufficiency of Scripture must stand as the foundation for Christian theology. Faithfulness to biblical truth, not intellectual appeasemen is the church’s calling. Allen’s suspicion toward historic Protestant confidence in divine revelation is precisely the kind of theological drift that weaken the power of the gospel itself.

Concerning about Allen’s project, on my view, mistakenly treats Christianity as if it is one voice among many in a religious marketplace. The Bible does not present Christianity as merely "our best estimate" of truth, but as the revealed truth of God, against which all other claims must be measured and rejected if they contradict Scripture.

I would also critique Allen’s handling of faith and reason. Biblical faith is not irrational fideism, but neither is it a philosophical construction derived from human reasoning and academic consensus. True faith rests in the self-authenticating authority of God’s Word — what the Reformers rightly called sola Scriptura. So for me the proper respond to postmodernism is not theological accommodation, but biblical proclamation, being bold, confident, and unapologetic.
