Paleo-orthodoxy and the Convergence Movement are not the same. Paleo-orthodoxy is theological, whilst Convergence has some theological aspects but also has to do with liturgy. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2603:8080:2302:BC93:8DF3:F92B:7FFE:B3D8 (talk) 05:16, 23 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Citations for Critics and Defenders[edit]

Section discussing critics and defenders of paleo-orthodoxy begins with weasel words ("Some people think...") and makes several controversial claims without citing any supporting references. From what I know of paleo-orthodoxy the criticisms cited in the article are actually not generally made and smack of an attempt at painting it as just another form of fundamentalism. I placed ^[who?] and ^{[citation needed]} tags on this section and will leave them up for a while to see if corroboration is added. If not I believe the entire section should be removed as unsubstantiated and not written from a neutral point of view. Pleonic (talk) 21:53, 26 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I heartily agree. This section stinks like original research. That said, I'm sure there are plenty of critics of paleo-orthodoxy, so methinks the thing to do is rework the section, amending it to agree with actual, cited critics of paleo-orthodoxy.

Lack of information[edit]

The neo-orthodoxy article outlines the tenets of the school, but this article appears to have no such information. Can someone rectify this please? Rhomboid Man 16:57, 20 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Faulty Link[edit]

The article is good, but the link to Christopher Hall gives you several Christopher Halls to chose from, none of which is the Christopher Hall implied in the article, a living teacher of theology, I know not where. – — … ° ≈ ≠ ≤ ≥ ± − × ÷ ← → · § Beau in NC (talk) 18:53, 18 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Created an article on the Christopher Hall intended, then linked it to the citation in this article. Pleonic (talk) 21:31, 21 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Paleo-Orthodoxy and Radical Orthodoxy[edit]

Lacking expertise in this field, it appears on the surface that "Paleo-Orthodoxy" has a similarity to the ideas of "Radical Orthodoxy", both seeking a return to classical Christianity and the teachings of the church fathers. Could someone with some expertise in this field compare/contrast the two theological sensibilities. How do these both relate to the Convergence Movement and to Robert E Webber's call for an "Ancient-Future Faith"? LAWinans (talk) 19:39, 2 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

The Wikipedia entry on "Radical Orthodoxy" says, "The name "Radical Orthodoxy" emphasises the movement's attempt to return to or revive traditional doctrine." This appears identical to the meaning of "Paleo-Orthodoxy". LAWinans (talk) 16:36, 22 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Palaeo- ?[edit]

Does the (British) variant palaeo-orthodoxy have sufficient presence to justify including it as an alternative spelling? I have found one article on the net that uses it (Wikipedia History of Christianity). Annoyingly, Google includes "paleo-" in the results, and I don't feel inclined to wade through looking for the few variant ones. Koro Neil (talk) 05:37, 23 June 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Maxie Dunnam[edit]

Maxie Dunnam was added to the list of Paleo-Orthodox scholars that contributed to Ancient & Modern Christianity: Paleo-Orthodoxy in the 21st Century, but he is not listed as a contributor in the book itself. Also there was no reference to identify him as being part of this movement. For these reasons I removed the reference to him -- at least until someone can provide evidence that he does adhere to Paleo-Orthodoxy.

Dunnam is involved in the Methodist Confessing Movement but this is not a sure indicator that one professes Paleo-Orthodoxy. They are separate, though sometimes related, things. Pleonic (talk) 03:14, 27 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Promotional[edit]

This article borders on the promotional for Thomas C. Oden, describing him as "dominant" and listing 7 of his books. Can we bring it in line with the neutral point of view guideline? (WP:NPOV) - Epinoia (talk) 19:49, 15 August 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Merge proposal[edit]

This article should be merged with Convergence Movement, which is a different name for the same thing. (There's a proper way to do a merge proposal, but I will have to figure it out.) - cheers, Epinoia (talk) 00:03, 27 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Epinoia Definitely NOT the same things. 2603:8080:2302:BC93:79AF:196:7CF1:843C (talk) 19:24, 3 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]
