"Back in college, one of my favorite professors used to spend entire lessons railing against a practice that he called "Chronological Snobbery" (which I still think is a very cool phrase). This practice refers to placing a higher value on a theological or hermeneutical interpretation just because it's "new."
Thus, those who are guilty of chronological snobbery often ignore the practices and beliefs of the historical church in favor of whatever book happens to be most recently added to the shelf."
