Weekly Standard on the Evangelical Left

Mark Tooley writes in the Weekly Standard about Greg Boyd and his new book on the myth of America as a Christian nation. Here's the conclusion:

"Will evangelicals hearken to the separatist, neo-Anabaptist mindset that Boyd espouses, as transmitted through Yoder and Hauerwas? It seems unlikely, but Yoder and Hauerwas are popular in many evangelical seminaries. For evangelicals uninspired by the traditional Religious Right, the Yoder-Hauerwas model seems to offer an alternative, without succumbing to theological liberalism. Expect to hear more from such disciples as Rev. Boyd."
