Widener, M.D. is a retired orthopedic surgeon, evangelical and long-time Southern Baptist Sunday School teacher with a special interest in the relationship between the individual’s cultural literacy and his or her ability to understand and hold forth for the Christian Gospel of Good News.
Widener concedes that there is an unfortunate bent of anti-intellectualism in evangelical circles. Historian and evangelical Mark Noll has written about the “scandal of the evangelical mind” while Os Guinness, also an evangelical, has said bluntly, “Most evangelicals simply don’t think, and Harry Blamires, a student of CS Lewis, says that there is no such thing as “a Christian mind.”
The author too has observed these trends over the years and in “The Nexus”, he proposes a comprehensive plan to deal with it .
Jon Widener submits this manual of alphabetized religiously relevant cultural artifacts in the hopes that in some small way, it might augment the evangelical’s cultural literacy and thereby strengthen his or her understanding at the Nexus of Faith and Culture.lihat lebih sedikit
