The scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind. So begins this award-winning intellectual history and critique of the evangelical movement by one of evangelicalism's most respected historians. Unsparing in his judgment; Mark Noll ask why the largest single group of religious Americans--who enjoy increasing wealth; status; and political influence--have contributed so little to rigorous intellectual scholarship in North America. In nourishing believers in the simple truths of the gospel; why have evangelicals failed at sustaining a serious intellectual life and abandoned the universities; the arts; and other realms of "high" culture? Noll is probing and forthright in his analysis of how this situation came about; but he doesn't end there. Challenging the evangelical community; he sets out to find; within evangelicalism itself; resources for turning the situation around.
