16. That was kind of what I was asking
"State of the art" implies something brand spanking new. But Christianity has been around for nearly 2000 years; I have trouble imagining anything "state of the art" with regards to discussions on the nature of God.

Yes, I am fully aware that theology changes, despite the best efforts of reactionaries. But changes major enough and clearly "new and improved" enough to merit a label of "state of the art"... I just don't see it working that way.
