How to Become a Liberal Without Attending Harvard Divinity School

By Carl Trueman | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

Air Conditioning Hell: How Liberalism Happens

By Al Mohler | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

Do we believe that hell is a part of the perfection of God’s justice? If not, we have far greater theological problems than those localized to hell.

Case Studies in the New Evangelical Liberalism

What’s Happening to InterVarsity?

By J. Mack Stiles | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

What Would Athanasius Do: Is The Great Tradition Enough?

By Greg Gilbert | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

At the end of the day the Great Tradition, at least defined as the words of those creeds, simply isn’t going to be enough to ground Christian unity.

By Gregory A. Wills | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

Liberalism is a heresy of evangelicalism. Evangelicals often miss this point.

Who Exactly Are the Evangelicals?

By Michael Horton | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

I remain convinced that there is still a place for being “evangelical.” Why? Quite simply, because we still have the evangel.

By D. G. Hart | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

This tension between emotions (subjective) and doctrine (objective) is nothing new.

Evangelism and Social Action: A Tale of Two Trajectories

By Bobby Jamieson | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

Miscellaneous Book Reviews

Book Review: The Rabbit and the Elephant: Why Small Is the New Big for Today’s Church, by Tony Dale and George Barna

Review by Aaron Menikoff | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

Book Review: Why Join a Small Church?, by John Benton

Review by Aaron Menikoff | 9Marks Journal: A New Evangelical Liberalism | 03.01.2010

Maybe small churches do have a lot to offer. This is the heart of Benton’s message, and I think it is worth listening to.
