Mr. Eli Putterman in YU's Kol haMevaser 2:7 lists the oft-repeated questions raised against Modern Orthodoxy, but provides no answers of his own.

My introductory paragraph:
I thank Mr. Eli Putterman for his insightful piece, "The Theological Concessions of Modern Orthodoxy", in Kol haMevaser 2:7. He raises many penetrating questions, questions which certainly deserve much
