    Seventeen years ago Mark Noll came out with his The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind. Noll criticized the lack of cultural and theological engagement among evangelicals. There was no "mind."

    Now, Trueman says, the real scandal is that there is no "evangelical." Evangelicalism doesn't exist. There is no consensus about evangelicalism's identity. There is no clear doctrinal definition within the greater Christian community. Its identity cannot be determined by shared doctrine or experience.

    Trueman reports that Christian institutions now deemphasize their doctrinal distinctives to build their size and influence and be more acceptable to an inclusive culture. Speakers and authors call themselves evangelicals even though they equivocate on homosexuality or the authority of Scripture. "If evangelicalism has no boundaries, then no boundaries have been transgressed..."

    Trueman's analysis to the change of viewpoint on the homosexual issue is alone worth the price of the book. "With evangelicalism no longer defined by doctrinal commitments, there can and will be no evangelical consensus on homosexuality." He predicts that biblical authority will continue to be eroded, as will the historical Adam.

    I highly recommend this book for anyone desiring to understand the current state of Christianity and its possible future. This little book explains a great deal.

    This is a gracious book. Unlike many other books dealing with the same subject matter - this book is not just a reference point but easily read cover to cover and yet it packs quite a punch. This was my first book by this author - and I am now anxious to read everything he has written. There are several great thinkers/authorities who write, blog, or otherwise comment on current trends within the evangelical world - and I consider Carl Trueman one of them; however I think he holds a secret weapon in addition to his vast knowledge and insight, namely - he can write. If you are already reading scholarly works - I believe it best to recommend this book as a great general read - well grounded book. If, like me, you are not reading any scholarly works - maybe even a bit unfamiliar with various thinking and trends on a higher level - this is the book for you. You can't go wrong with this book.

    The book covers the evangelism of Christianity.

    This is from someone within the evangelist movement, and they describe some of the movement and what they lack in some areas.

    It is great reading and gives you some insight into what is lacking and what can be done to fix the problem.

    They understand what is their weakness and how to fix the problem. At least they are aware of the problem and they are willing to fix it using the word of God for guidance.
