Balmer complains that evangelicals refuse to read Paul's "apparent condemnations of homosexuality" as rooted in, and "arguably" limited to, "the historical and social circumstances of the first century."

This guy is not an evangelical. He's a theological liberal modernist who is gonna have a lot to answer for.

Sounds to me like we are ready for the next question: "Is the Pope an Evangelical, or What?"

"Does Christianity have social ramifications?"

I always thought people refered to themselves as "Evangelical Christians" so they would not have to use the term "Fundamentalist".

"Evangelicalism needs to be relinquished as a religious identity because it does not exist. In fact, it is the wax nose of the twentieth-century American Protestantism ... .Despite the vast amounts of energy and resources expended on the topic, and notwithstanding the ever growing volume of literature on the movement, evangelicalism is little more than a construction." (DG Hart, Deconstructing Evangelicalism)

Jack Rogers is as much a "theologian" as Balmer is an "evangelical."
