I just finished a neat book - How to Be Evangelical Without Being Conservative (Roger E Olson). I even found the chapter titles challenging... As one who can be rather reactionary, I appreciated this book and highly recommend it to my family and my church family. I was going to write a quote from each chapter, but, no joke, I couldn't decide on just one! :) Let me know what you think of it!
1 - Being Biblical without Orthodoxy
2 - Building Character without Moralism
3 - Celebrating America without Nationalism
4 - Seeking Truth without Certainty
5 - Taking the Bible Seriously without Literalism
6 - Being Religionless without Secularism
7 - Transforming Culture without Domination
8 - Redistributing Wealth without Socialism
9 - Relativizing without Rejecting Theology
10 - Updating without Trivializing Worship
11 - Accepting without Affirming Flawed People
12 - Practicing Equality without Sacrificing Difference
