The wonderful 42 has picked up on an “interesting” post by Adrian Warnock about Don Carson’s book Scandalous. Within the post Adrian makes the interesting comment, “There was a time when the definition of an “evangelical” was someone who liked John Stott and Billy Graham.

Yesterday I was chatting with TOH about a decision she had made not to continue down the path she had been, marked potential ordinand, at the moment.
