DG Hart asks a good questions about evangelicals

From Natalie's blog:"

"We are thus left with the question that Prof. Noll’s book originally raised and that remains unanswered today: Will evangelicals who become intellectually serious remain evangelical once they awaken from their pietistic slumbers? If not, is the “evangelical mind” really a possibility—or is it, instead, an oxymoron?"


Hart also notes (and Natalie affirms) that many evangelicals interested in intellectual pursuits are turning to either the Catholic or Anglican traditions where they are more welcome. What does that say about the evangelical community?

I believe it says that the evangelical community is, many times, hostile towards intellectuals.
