Evangelicalism Today

An excellent symposium in Touchstone about "Evangelicalism", featuring Russell Moore, Denny Burk, John Franke, Darryl Hart, Michael Horton, and David Lyle Jeffrey...

The editor's description of the effort:

In this forum, a diverse group of Evangelicals discuss the state of Evangelicalism today and other matters. (We are planning to run similar forums on the Catholic, Orthodox, and mainline churches in the next year.)

The questions with which they wrestle:

--How do you define “Evangelical” in a way that distinguishes Evangelicals from other believing Christians? And has this definition changed over the last several years?

--Has Evangelicalism matured since the 1950s, and if so in what ways?

--Has Evangelicalism lost anything in the process of maturing (if it did)?

--Are there any fundamental differences within the Evangelical movement today, and do you think they will deepen into permanent divisions, or even have already? How might they be healed?

--What does your movement, speaking generally, fail to see that it ought to see?

--What would you say to an Evangelical tempted to become Catholic or Orthodox?

--What has Evangelicalism to offer the wider world that it will find nowhere else?
