Got to hear this guy speak recently and had to buy his book. He really speaks my language–not just in ideas and opinions, but also in beautiful use of words. It’s all about the history of evangelicalism and the rise of the religious right. He documents how the current tone of evangelical Christianity in America and the dogma of the religious right is a radical departure from the progressive traditions of evangelicalism. He’s an evangelical himself, and speaks of this culture with a lot of compassion and concern. As I get further into the book, I’ll share some more thoughts about it.
