One can have a relatively low view of Scripture and the traditions while still thinking that a relevant Christian message can (and should) be distilled from these sources.

If so, so goes serious theological reflection. Perhaps there has also been a loss of the apologetic sense that thinkers like Bultmann and Tillich had.
