James Davidson Hunter's To Change the World has been hailed as one of the most important analyses of evangelicalism in recent memory. Our own ridiculously prolific guest-blogger Christopher Benson had an interview with him in Christianity Today that hit on many of the major themes. I've remained silent on the book because, well, I've been travelling for a month and was swamped with other projects prior to leaving.
That's about to change.
On Monday night, the American Enterprise Institute is hosting Dr. Hunter to address the shifts that have taken place in younger evangelicals within the context of his broader analysis of evangelicalism. They've invited two younger evangelical respondents, one of whom is.....me.
If you're in the DC area and interested in the future shape of evangelicalism, this is a great opportunity to hear from one of its most careful observers (who is Dr. Hunter, in case there is any confusion about the referent of that clause). Let me know by email if you intend to come, as I always love meeting Mere-O readers.
