Dear Sir,
Many thanks to Ranald Macaulay for his clear, helpful and important article in the March en.
It is indeed a tragedy that many in conservative evangelical circles are running away from the intellectual challenges of scientific materialism, in order to ‘focus on preaching the gospel’. This ‘Gospel Only’ approach presents Christian faith as only concerned with the ‘spiritual realm’ and hence irrelevant for much of daily life. It privatises faith – pushing it back into a ‘true for you’ box. And so it cuts the root of gospel impact.
