National: "The Word Made Fresh": Revisionist theologians offer instead more stale liberalism | R. Albert Mohler

American evangelicalism seems stuck in an identity crisis—and the crisis is deepening. The boundaries of evangelical theology have never been particularly clear, but theologians on the evangelical left are now resisting any meaningful boundaries at all.

A group of theologians recently released a new manifesto for revisionist evangelicalism. "The Word Made Fresh" calls for evangelicals to resist attempts to propagate rigid definitions of evangelicalism that result in "unnecessary alienation and exclusion." Well, who wouldn't want to avoid that?
