In Where We Are and How We Got Here-written for CT's 50th annniversary issue--Mark Nolls attempts to summarize the past 50 years of evangelicalism. Here is how he concludes his piece:
"But have evangelicals today moved too far? Has an overemphasis on preserving tradition been replaced by an overemphasis on connecting to the culture? For such supremely important questions, it is, of course, too early for a historical assessment. When the balance shifts too strongly to one without the other, it is merely sounding brass and a tinkling cymbal. But an evangelical resurgence that balances traditional faith and cultural relevance sounds a trumpet of salvation to the world."
