Andria’s Reviews > Exvangelical and Beyond: How American Christianity Went Radical and the Movement That's Fighting Back > Status Update

First of all, totally here for the dressing down of Wayne Grudem. Fuck that guy. Second, very strong argument here against the possibility of reform movements within evangelicalism. There is quite literally a 100+ year history of evangelical Christianity resisting progressive reform. To use examples from the book, look how they treated Rob Bell vs. how they justified Trump. A narrow gate left and a wide gate right.

Interesting thesis, that evangelicalism has less to do with theology than it does disseminating "correct" political ideology through the media and bible colleges. Does a good job establishing that appeals to "tradition" are largely invented. Certainly reflected in present movements, like the one to establish that "empathy is a sin".
