Scandal

Ronald Sider has written a new book called "The Scandal of the Evangelical Conscience," based on the premise that evangelicals don't practice what they preach.

I am intrigued by this idea, since it is written by an evangelical speaking to evangelicals, and want to embrace it, but I have questions about Sider's motivations and how his politics shaped his premise.

So I'm not opposed but I am not convinced that evangelicals don't practice what they preach. I know that happens, but Sider is using stats, which are tricky when you are evaluating who is an evangelical and who is not.

Anyway, here is an excerpt from the book, and I'll possibly post more on this later.
