Doug Wilson’s Belief That Giving Offense Can Be Virtuous

Articles addressing Wilson’s belief that giving offense can be a Christian duty, and evaluating the biblical and pastoral implications of intentionally provocative speech.

“The word is skubalon, and means in the first place some kind of animal excrement . . . we simply cannot imagine the lofty sentiment of this wonderful passage (e.g., the ‘excellency of the knowledge of Christ Jesus my Lord’) functioning in the same sentence with dog s***. But there it is—Paul has scraped all self-important, prim and proper, fussy-tidy religion off the bottom of his shoe. Why? That he might win Christ.” — Doug Wilson (original unredacted)
