Hannah Rosin offers a brief synopsis of Daniel Radosh’s Rapture Ready. What Rosin doesn’t mention is that there have been voices within the Christianity such as the Wittenburg Door (in the 70s), and more seriously the White Horse Inn guys have been examining and critiquing the foibles of evangelicalism and chronicling it’s relations to popular culture for years.

Tullian posts a section from his forthcoming book on thinking Christianly. This is an important topic and one close to my heart. We discuss this very question each fall in the Historical Theology orientation course. We read and discuss a roundtable discussion published some years ago in Christianity Today in which several leading evangelical historians and scholars considered the question of whether we can interpret the providence of God in history and whether there is a distinctly “Christian” way of doing history.
In seminary I was taught that there is a distinctively Christian way of viewing everything. In a sense I suppose that’s true but here’s how my mind has changed on this issue. Read the rest of this entry »
