The Buses Will Wait: The Emergence and Rise of Neo-Evangelicalism

BY WAYNE WAGER

In this very helpful paper, Pastor Wayne Wager makes useful distinctions between Christian fundamentalists and their evangelical counterparts. He examines both the strengths and weaknesses of the Neo-Evangelical, identifying two major weaknesses compared with their earlier spiritual fathers. The Neo-Evangelicals were marked by anti-intellectualism and by a limited view of wholistic ministry, or engagement in social action.

Wager concludes his paper with a call: “What I sense we need is faithfulness to those few core values that make evangelicals what they are. Living true to the teaching of Scripture, being obedient to Jesus Christ, a brave engagement with the world as it is, and a continuing to pray for the genuine conversion of people.”
