In this article Northwestern professor Kim Van Es, who is also chair of the Sioux County Democrats, offers a definition of what she refers to as "progressive Christians." Instead of reminding us that Jesus' death and atonement is the only way to get to heaven, she writes that 'progressive Christians' say Jesus is 'primarily' needed for His wisdom: and not for His atonement.
That belief devalues the very heart of the gospel.
Why would Kim Van Es, although technically in third person, be strongly advocating without a word of caution these heretical "progressive christian" views if they were not her own? Others also share our concern.

We agree with Doug Vande Griend. We believe these are likely the views of Kim Van Es as well. If they are not, we welcome her to submit any previous writings she has published or let us know at PRI if these are not the views she holds.
