In the history of evangelicalism, for every Jonathan Edwards dedicating the mind to discern the glories of God in the stuff of daily human existence, there are many James Davenports running amuck into mind-denying enthusiasm. For every William Jennings Bryan eager to judge the marketplace by the Cross, there is a Russell Conwell eager to bury the Cross in an acre of diamonds. For every Johann Albrecht Bengel or Gordon Fee examining the issues of biblical interpretation with painstaking care, there are many more evangelicals racing from slipshod plundering of the biblical text to bogus exegetical certainties. For every [William] Wilberforce bringing the resources of evangelical faith to bear for spiritual and terrestrial liberation, there is a James Henley Thornwell bringing pretty much the same resources to bear for a now incomprehensible mixture of spiritual liberation and terrestrial enslavement. For every Billy Graham maintaining theological, financial, and sexual integrity as a traveling evangelist, there is a Marjo exploiting kergymatic charisma for base ends.
