The Notebooks of Schubert Ogden
What constitutes Christian confession is one question; what constitutes Christian witness, another.
Whereas Christian confession is constituted explicitly as such by a statement of belief, Christian witness is constituted explicitly as such by an assertion of truth -- or, really, two such assertions: (1) the properly christological assertion that Jesus is the one through whom God acts decisively to judge and to save; and (2) the properly theological assertion that God is the One who acts decisively to judge and to save through Jesus.
