A Plea and a Warning for “Evangelicalism”
“I’m surprised people are still even trying to run in those circles.”
That’s what my colleague a New Testament scholar who signs up to all the ecumenical creeds and staunchly defends the inspiration of Scripture said to me. And by “people”, he was specifically referring to Bible and Theology Profs running in conservative evangelical circles.
It’s simply assumed and one sees it again and again in practice that if you get the academic training, you will find life in many evangelical churches difficult, if not impossible.
But why? Why do most Bible scholars and Theologians say: “I give up. I’m exhausted. It’s time to go Anglican/Episcopalian/Methodist/Presbyterian, etc.?”

Ten-years-ago me didn’t even want to get a master’s degree. Undergrad was enough. I was still trying to forget the sleep deprivation and homework load. Five-years-ago me started to realize she needed a master’s. A seminary degree would be necessary to pursue a calling to become a pastor and to gain the biblical studies skills to write books for the church. Two-years-ago me was nearing the end of that master’s putting up with plenty of all-nighters for paper writing and was starting to get an inkling that a PhD was an inevitability for both scholarship and ministry goals.
