Beyond Evangelical: Part VII

“I am prepared to go anywhere . . . provided it be forward.”

~ David Livingston

Today we complete our series on beyond evangelical. Some of you asked me to compile all the posts in the series into an eBook. I’ve decided to take you up on the suggestion.

Here are four things you’ll want to know about the upcoming book:

  1. It will contain all seven posts in the “beyond evangelical” series.
  2. It will contain new chapters that have never been published anywhere.
  3. It will contain several previously published posts that are related to the subject.
  4. It will release before June (God willing).

As I’ve established throughout this series, those who have moved beyond evangelical are neither on the Christian left nor on the Christian right.

They are neither fundamentalist nor emergent.

They are neither pietistic nor activist.

They are neither legalistic nor libertine.

Those who have moved beyond evangelical embrace elements of each group, yet they have gone beyond them. 

At the very bottom, I’ve listed each part of the series to make it easy for you to share the whole set of posts with others (on blogs and websites).

What follows is a short and basic video that someone created that sketches the main passions of beyond evangelicals. In so doing, it also introduces people to this blog.

If you resonate with the content, share this post (or the video) with your friends. Those of you who are in your 20s and 30s, I’d like to especially encourage you to share it with others.

Why? Because according to the mail I receive, there are scores of Christians your age (20- and 30-somethings) who are turned off by both the Christian right and the Christian left and who are seeking a third way. They just don’t know that it exists.

Enjoy.
