“This book actually does provide us with a veritable Baskins & Robbins of apologetic methods. We have the standard old Arminian vanilla supplied by Craig, and the more reformational Rocky Road supplied by James Sire. But both these gentlemen, for all their strengths, are unduly attached to the traditional flavors, with their undue dependence upon those fattening dairy products of truth. But that is what makes the postmodern ice cream shop such a wonderful place. We have no real reason to limit ourselves to the traditional flavors and conventional frozen products anymore. Not after hearing the postmodern critique of modernism! We may now branch out into yogurts and sherbets! And as for flavors? No longer tied to the hidebound past, we may try anything–cookie dough, centipedes, oyster shells, raspberry cheesecake, used sneaker laces, and more. And this is what testifies to the vitality of contemporary evangelicalism. We don’t really know what we ought to be selling, but business is brisk!” (Contours of Post Maturity, pp. 59-60).
