Tales of a Secret Rockstar

I'm so bored of little gods, while I'm standing on the edge of something large, while I'm standing here so close to You . . .

Here's a quote from Scandal of the Evangelical Mind which I just stole from the Registrar and started reading. It's from Os Guinness:

Evangelicals have been deeply sinful in being anti-intellectual ever since the
1820s and 1830s. For a long time we didn't pay the cultural price for that
because we had the numbers, the social zeal, and the spiritual passion for the
gospel. But today we are beginning to pay the cultural price. And
you can see that most evangelicals simply don't think. For example, there
has been no serious evangelical public philosophy in this century. . . . It has
always been a sin not to love the Lord our God with our minds as well as our
hearts and souls. . . . We have excused this with a degree of pietism and
pretend[ing] that this is something other than what it is -- that is, sin. . . .
Evangelicals need to repent of their refusal to think Christianly and to develop
the mind of Christ.
Scandal of the Evangelical Mind, Mark A Noll. p. 23
