... many younger evangelicals are reacting against the propositionalism and intellectualism of their forebears.13 They have found some of the theological handbooks from which they learned their theology to be dry and lifeless. Theology, younger evangelicals rightly sense, must be about more than just providing true propositional statements about God and our relationship with him. More importantly, many of today's evangelicals sense that these theological handbooks wrongly give the impression that we can fully and adequately grasp the truth to which our theological statements refer. Therefore, there is a growing sense that we need a healthy dose of mystery to counter sterile intellectualism. And to the degree that younger evangelicals sense the hubris of a good deal of modern theologizing, I can only echo their sentiments. But, of course, a return to mystery may take on different forms. Some of our younger evangelicals, it seems to me, run the danger of confusing postmodern skepticism with mystery. As we attempt to recover mystery in theology, it is critical that we recognize that the premodern notion of mystery owed nothing to skepticism or relativism. It had everything to do with acknowledging that the mystery of God's being had suffused the created world. Theology's genuine humility has less to do with skepticism than it does with mysticism.
