"The scandal of the evangelical head is that there is not much of the evangelical head." So begins this award-winning intellectual record and critique of the evangelical motion by one of evangelicalism's esteemed historians. Unsparing in his view, Symbol Noll ask why the major single group of religious Us citizens - who enjoy increasing prosperity, status, and political affect - have added so little to thorough intellectual scholarship or grant in North America. In nourishing believers in the easy truths of the gospel, why have evangelicals failed at sustaining a serious intellectual life and empty the universities, the arts, and other realms of "high" culture? Noll is probing and forthright in his research of how this example came into being, but he doesn't end there. Challenging the evangelical community, he pieces out to find, within evangelicalism itself, resources for turning the situation around.
