He makes a lot of good points, but some of his thoughts (on youth pastors and sexuality, the desire for ‘authenticity’, the assumption that innerancy needs to be accepted by evangelicals to keep the movement going, the assumption that the “emerging” leaders haven’t read classic evangelical writings, and the assumption that at their core younger evangelicals just want to be “cool”, to name a few) seem to be based on nothing more than his own musings. I’m sure that he has read some books by some of the leaders of the younger evangelicals, but pinning the writings of a few ‘leaders’ on an entire generation and calling it their creed or whatever is a bit rash, I think. Still, his point that the younger evangelical tendency toward non-partisan politics will go against the gears of the system is very intriguing. He is completely right, and it would be good for those who think it’s cool to somehow transcend politics by not selecting a party to reflect deeply on their decision and realize that their choice could have bigger implications than they realize.
