The Unresolved Tensions of Evangelicalism Part 2: God-Proving Christian Experience
I am continuing my series on the unresolved tensions of evangelicalism, I want to explore disillusionment with Christian experience. 2. The Disillusionment of Christian Experience Evangelicalism makes confident claims about the religious experience of its true believers.

The Unresolved Tensions of Evangelicalism Part 1: The Biblical Worldview
NOTE: This post is analysis and opinion. It’s not about what I believe or don’t. My posts on Christine Wicker’s and Julia Duin’s descriptions of evangelicalism’s winter are meant to be provocative, but they are also an attempt to hear something in the voices of our critics we rarely allow into our discussions: the scaryContinue reading “The Unresolved Tensions of Evangelicalism Part 1: The Biblical Worldview”

Do You Trust The Abbreviated Jesus?
The other day a strange feeling came over me. Don’t get me wrong about what I’m about to say here. It was just a feeling. I’m not claiming any powers of discernment or certainty. I got the distinct feeling there’s something wrong with a lot of people who say they are Jesus-followers/believers. If you wantContinue reading “Do You Trust The Abbreviated Jesus?”
Iain Murray: Facing the Main Problem in Evangelism Today
I really appreciate Iain Murray, the editor at Banner of Truth Trust, former associate to Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones and an eminent historian of evangelicalism. His many talks at various reformed conferences throughout the years are worth acquiring and his books are all valuable. Some are simply essential. Dr. Murray’s books are available through any reformedContinue reading “Iain Murray: Facing the Main Problem in Evangelism Today”
