Left in the Cart?
What amazes me is not that Jimmy Carter still holds to the same, tired, truthless ecumenical agenda that one had hoped had passed with the old century, but that the Evangelical Alliance should have printed his views without casting a single doubt upon them. Worse, the editor of Idea appears to endorse them. In his notes, he describes Carter as ‘a strong evangelical leader who pulls no punches in his comments on diversity and unity’. He goes on to say, ‘We’re proud to feature his only UK print interview this year on our pages. We also heartily recommend his new book…’

What liberal evangelicals need to understand is that a truly radical evangelicalism must be utterly faithful to scriptural imperatives and principles.
