He is quite right in insisting that liberal theologians are inconsistent–they want to disbelieve the miracles of the New Testament and still hold to the uniqueness of Christ; they want to demythologize the New Testament and still have a savior of sorts. Sheehan is consistent enough to take liberalism to where it logically leads, namely to the complete emasculation of Christianity. In the end there is nothing left except love your neighbor and do justice, ideas that we could have thought up on our own.
Interestingly, Sheehan was not able to give even a shred of historical evidence for his radical views. Not one scrap of a manuscript, not one archaeological find, not one new historical reference, just the same tired inferences that liberals have made for generations.
