Societal and political events have caused both insiders and outsiders to ask “Is the Evangelical movement at an end?” Perhaps a better question to ask is, “Should the Evangelical movement come to an end?” What part of the Christian witness is strengthened by the title “Evangelical”? What is lost? Are we losing more than we gain by calling ourselves Evangelicals? Is it time to give up the title “Evangelical”? Or is it still worth the effort? All that and more on this edition of Questions From The Pew.
