Carl Trueman wrestles with those two provocative questions and concludes that modern evangelicals emphasize experience and activism at the expense of theology. Their minds go fuzzy as they downplay doctrine. The result is \"a world in which everyone from Joel Osteen to Brian McLaren to John MacArthur may be called an evangelical.\"  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Fifteen years ago in *The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind*, historian Mark Noll warned that evangelical Christians had abandoned the intellectual aspects of their faith. Christians were neither prepared nor inclined to enter the intellectual debate, and had become marginalized. Today Trueman argues, \"Religious beliefs are more scandalous than they have been for many years\"-but for different reasons than Noll foresaw. In fact, the real problem now is exactly the opposite of what Noll diagnosed¯evangelicals don't lack a mind, but rather an agreed upon evangel. Although known as gospel people, evangelicals no longer share any consensus on the gospel's meaning.  \u003cbr\u003e   \u003cbr\u003e Provocative and persuasive, Trueman's indictment of evangelicalism also suggests a better way forward for those theologically conservative Protestants once and formerly known as evangelicals.","brand":"Koorong","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51564993806623,"sku":"9780802405746","price":13.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0925\/8981\/8143\/files\/9780802405746_756447.jpg?v=1769214935"},{"product_id":"solid-ground-25-years-of-evangelical-theology-147989","title":"Solid Ground: 25 Years of Evangelical Theology","description":"For 25 years, the theological journal, THEMELIOS has presented articles by world-renowned theologians to help non-experts understand God, the world and humanity.
