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\u003eFifteen years ago in \u003ci\u003eThe Scandal of the Evangelical Mind\u003c\/i\u003e, historian Mark Noll warned that evangelical Christians had abandoned the intellectual aspects of their faith. Christians were neither prepared nor inclined to enter intellectual debates, and had become culturally marginalized. Trueman argues that today \"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\u003eProvocative and persuasive, Trueman's indictment of evangelicalism also suggests a better way forward for those theologically conservative Protestants famously known as evangelicals.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Moody Publishers\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/30\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780802405746\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 41\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.15lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.20h x 5.30w x 0.30d","brand":"Carl Trueman","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":36643472965788,"sku":"9780802405746","price":8.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0473\/0804\/6492\/products\/img_032dd0af-0a35-4f99-97e2-f4d9b605b9e2.jpg?v=1603856683","url":"https:\/\/pastforward.org\/products\/the-real-scandal-of-the-evangelical-mind-9780802405746","provider":"Past Forward","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
