The Heresies of Evangelicalism

I’m too busy at work to comment in detail, but I stumbled on an excellent series by David Congdon at The Fire and the Rose on the “Heresies of Evangelicalism” this morning.  I would suggest that “evangelical” theology is changing in many ways that address some of these “heresies.”  Nevertheless, Congdon articulates almost perfectly a number of concerns that have nagged at me for years.  I also particularly appreciate the spirit in which Congdon offers the series: “Let me remind my readers that this series is not intended to condemn the church but to prod it toward maturity in the faith. We live in an age in which the line between piety and idolatry is very thin indeed. We must be diligent in weeding out “everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles” (Heb. 12:1), but never at the expense of Christian charity toward all, especially toward those with whom we most disagree. Toward that end, I offer this series in the hope that churches in America will proclaim the gospel with clarity and integrity.” Amen.
