Another reason for questioning the unifying character of evangelicalism is the way rank-and-file born again Protestants talk about Christianity. Word choices are telling. Read more

The Protestant Crisis That Is Evangelicalism

Just In Time for Thanksgiving

Last updated on: November 21, 2017 at 6:22 pm By D. G. Hart

Americans recover their inner-Puritan. H. L. Mencken summarized the Puritan outlook wittily when he said “Puritanism is the haunting idea that someone, somewhere may be happy.” But in his Book of Prefaces he made an arresting observation about American character and our debt to Puritanism: This is the essential fact of the new Puritanism; its recognition of the moral expert, the professional sinhound, the virtuoso of virtue. Under the original Puritan theocracy, as in Scotland, for example, the chase and... Read more

Wait, Now We Want Religion in the Pulpit?

Last updated on: November 10, 2017 at 3:38 pm By D. G. Hart

I continue to be amazed by the positions to which anti-Trumpism leads. Now it seems we want pastors and priests to instruct the laity about politics. At least Lydia Bean does: But it was surprising that Trump did even better with white evangelicals than George W. Bush, John McCain and Mitt Romney — three candidates who were better aligned with evangelical moral beliefs. In past elections, conservative evangelical leaders praised these people as “godly men” whose moral character was superior... Read more

Whatever Happened to Doing All for the Glory of God — even Watching Movies?

Last updated on: November 9, 2017 at 5:38 pm By D. G. Hart

I have been reading a surprising number of recent posts that raise questions about whether Christians should be as approving of popular culture as we are. Since I grew up in a fundamentalist home, I have having a case of deja vu. For instance, John Piper advises on advice-seeker to trust his instincts and worry about watching movies and television: One of the things that I want to say is that I know there are people who would counsel Craig...
