Exploring a Parallel Universe - Christianity Today Magazine


In this article Philip Yancey asks "why does the word 'evangelical' threaten so many people in our culture." His thoughts, especially his closing paragraph should be taken to heart by us all! Here's the opening to get you started:
"For almost ten years, I have participated in a book group comprising people who attended the University of Chicago. Mostly we read current novels, with a preference for those authors (Philip Roth, Saul Bellow, J. M. Coetzee) who have a connection with the school. The group includes a Marxist-leaning professor of philosophy, a childhood-development specialist, a pharmaceutical researcher, a neurologist, and an attorney.

I marvel in our meetings at how the same book can evoke radically different responses."
