"The Trump era presents a host of new challenges for evangelicals who believe in the Gospel—the 'good news' of Jesus Christ. The first step in addressing these challenges must come through a reckoning with our past. Evangelicals have taken many wrong turns over the decades even though better, more Christian, options could be found by simply opening up the Bible and reading it. We must stop our nostalgic gaze into a Christian golden age in America that probably never existed to begin with and turn toward the future with renewed hope. It is time, as the great theologian of hope Jurgen Moltmann taught us, to 'waken the dead and piece together what has been broken.'"
John Fea at The Atlantic presents a "very short history of evangelical fear."
