The Real Scandal of the Evangelical Mind

What is the evangelist? . . Did he lose his heart? Carl Truman suffered from these two provocative questions and concluded that contemporary evangelicals are emphasizing experience and behaviorism at the expense of theology. Their thoughts are ambiguous as they disregard their ideas. As a result, "From Joel Osteen to Brian McLaren, John MacArthur, everyone may be called the evangelical world"

In "Gospel Mind Scandal" 15 years ago, historian Mark Noel warned that evangelical Christians gave up on the intellectual aspects of their faith. Christian does not prepare or tilt to tackle intellectual debate and is culturally alienated. Truman believes today's religious belief is more disgraceful than years ago - but for different reasons than Noll anticipates. In fact, the real problem is the opposite of Noel's diagnosis. Evangelists lack ideas and agree with the gospel. It is known as the Gospel, but evangelicals no longer have a consensus on the meaning of the Gospel.

The provocative and persuasive prosecution for Truman's evangelicals shows that there is a better way for those theologically conservative Protestants to call it evangelical

A few years ago, Marknor wrote a book titled "Scandal in the Gospel's Heart" and believed that the scandal was not so. When it comes to evangelical scholars and scholarships, I do not agree: the scandal is not without thinking, recently there are a few precious gospel

Historian Mark Nol wrote in the groundbreaking book "Evangelical Mind Scandal" published in 1994. "Scandal ... There is not so much evangelical thinking, Nor quotes the Lebanese diplomat and the orthodox Christian Charles Malik's words because they do not care much about spiritual life Justin Giboney criticized the evangelist by paying attention to the soul Justin Giboney is an African American from Atlanta, age 37, from a democratic political world, he is a Christian abortion and He was a predecessor of the mayor of Kasim Reed who is conservative about sexuality he founded An & Campaign, which preserves the long-standing traditional "classical value" of the African-American religious community While promoting the "social justice" of criminal justice reform.

Noel explained the scandal by thinking of an evangelical scandal as a flaw in his fundamentalist history. For Wells, the evangelical thinking scandal is due to the commonalities between fundamentalist parents and modernist and liberal evangelical grandparents. Without sharp, persuasive and differentiated identities, evangelists were absorbed by the tradition of the modern world in which they live, not less than former liberals. Therefore why they did not notice that their perception of opponents was not mysterious. The reason is that they are no different from these opponents and they no longer need their motives.
