Reading Discussion: Hart & Mouw on American Evangelical Christianity

First, based on your reading of the chapters from Hart and Mouw assigned this week, post your carefully considered response to the following prompt:

If you had to identify 3 “ingredients” that were key to the makeup of American evangelical Christianity in the second half of the 20th century (1950-2000), what would they be? (These ingredients might be theological, cultural, political, practical, etc.) List your 3 ingredients, describe them (at least 1 sentence each), and explain why you chose them (at least 2 sentences each). Use specific details from both books.

Then, thoughtfully read and engage at least 2 of your colleagues’ responses with a substantive reply of at least 4 sentences each. Each reply needs to answer this question: Do you agree with the importance of the ingredients your colleague chose? If you do agree, provide additional specific evidence that further supports their choices from the readings. If you do not agree, charitably explain why you differ and support your own view with specific evidence from the readings. In all likelihood, you will agree with some choices and not others.

I still have not gotten my book in the mail still, if you can just do your best and give me something to turn in it will greatly appreciated. Thank you for all your hard work it is greatly appreciated!!!
