I read an interesting paragraph in today's Tabletalk about how all other relgions are known as 'religions of orthopraxy' (religions of right practice) whereas Christianity is a 'religion of orthodoxy' (religion of right belief). If we consider the above statements to be true, then are we moving toward orthopraxy? The reason why I ask that is it appears as we are more concern with everything Christian except doctrine today. Can we say we are moving away from orthodoxy?

Now, to this issue I wonder if Christianity has been more about orthopraxy until the Reformation. And the Reformation with the emphasis on orthodoxy, may be the outlier on all this.

Any thoughts and clarification on this?
