Interesting Articles
TIME magazine recently did a series of articles on "10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now" and listed "The New Calvinism" as their #3 Big Idea. Interestingly, they specifically mentioned as the prime influencers in this movement the same three guys - John Piper, Al Mohler, and Mark Driscoll - that I focused on for my Neo-Fundamentalism paper. Guess I was ahead of the curve with this one. :)
BTW, Eugene Cho has some good conversation going on about the article over at his blog.
On a slightly more pessimistic note, The Christian Science Monitor has an article by Michael Spencer on "The Coming Evangelical Collapse". While I don't entirely agree with all of his predictions, he is brutally honest about where he thinks the evangelical church is headed, and doesn't have much hope that either the emerging conversation or the New Reformed will be able to turn it around.
