{"product_id":"9780802478153","title":"The Real Scandal of the Evangelical Mind","description":"\u003cp\u003eWhat is an evangelical . . . and has he lost his mind? 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 into 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Moody Publishers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47128106729712,"sku":"9780802478153","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780802478153_p0.jpg?v=1763665862","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780802478153","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
