Is Mark Driscoll This Generation’s Pat Robertson?
Jonathan Merritt of Religion News Service wonders if neo-Calvinist Pastor Mark Driscoll, known for his “brazen comments,” is this generation’s Pat Robertson. A Baptist minister, Robertson was the founder of the Christian Broadcasting Network and the Christian Coalition. Merritt writes, “Robertson’s meteoritic rise to popularity morphed into a slow burn of outlandishness, a trajectory that Mark Driscoll is well on his way to mimicking.”
