Religion in American History announces an upcoming conference looking back on Mark Noll’s important book The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind. It will take place on October 1-2, 2009, at Gordon College in Wenham, MA, and Mark Noll himself will be in attendance. Writes Randall Stephens:
Participants in a symposium on the book published in First Things described the Noll’s book as a “jeremiad, profound in implication but simple in form.” They aptly summarized his chief argument: “The problem, in short, is evangelicals’ appalling parochialism, their unwillingness to break out of the vast but all-too-comfortable ghetto of evangelical churches and colleges and publishing networks and engage an intellectual world long ago captured by Marx and Darwin and Freud.”
