The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind

by Mark A. Noll

Hardcover Paperback Kindle Edition

"The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind" by Mark A. Noll critiques the lack of intellectualism and academic rigor within the American evangelical community. Noll argues that evangelicals have been reticent to engage in serious intellectual inquiry, leading to a paucity of quality scholarship and a lack of influence in the broader academic community. He suggests that this lack of intellectual engagement has its roots in a historical rejection of intellectualism within certain branches of evangelicalism, and calls for a renewed commitment to intellectual inquiry and scholarship within the evangelical community in order to regain its historical and cultural influence. Overall, Noll's book serves as a call to arms for evangelicals to embrace intellectualism in order to have a greater impact on the world around them.
