UPDATE: I’m going to take this post from Ed Stetzer as indicative that Keller isn’t a theistic evolutionist, and delete this post. Thanks for participating.

Riffs: 02:12:08: Tim Keller and Theistic Evolution + Open Thread
12 Feb by
If I openly said I was a theistic evolutionist in my seminary class, I’m pretty sure that the professor would question my believe in Jesus as the son of God, and immediately attempt to say that I was “opening the door” to the “slippery slope of humanism.”
The closest thing I have to a denomination wouldn’t care.
I’m honestly not sure about my church. That would be interesting. I’m the youth pastor, but I’m not sure if I would be immediately fired. Now I have to decide if that’s a good or bad thing.
I am pretty sure Tim is not; his recent clarification with Ed Stetzer leads me to believe Tim is probably an old-earth ‘framework theory’ creationist. You can try to parse Keller’s remarks here:

If I were a theistic evolutionist I would think that it would be trouble for me at church. But since, being reformed didn’t get me fired, I’m not sure being a theistic evolutionist would either.
I am curious…
What impact does the typical theistic evolutionist opinion have on their view of Adam and Eve and original sin?
Before Keller’s book, was it widely known that he was a theistic evolutionist?
I didn’t realize that Mohler and Keller were so tight that he would get a “pass”.
