I like his six points of evangelicalism.

Very near the end, he seems to suggest disengaging from politics completely. For me, there is only the slightest possibility of taking that route -- I find it conceptually just one step short of literally renouncing citizenship -- but I would choose that route before voting for any non-Republican I'm currently aware of. The one possible exception would be Tulsi Gabbard, if she became Pro-Life, and some of her votes place her at least on the cusp.

Great interview. I'd be very interested to hear John Stackhouse's opinion of Dan Stringer's recent book "Struggling with Evangelicalism." I found Stringer's view that evangelicalism is both a brand and a place/space to inhabit helpful. I also liked Stringer's encouragement to inhabit the space and work to re-habilitate the brand. I guess his target audience is in the USA, but I sure feel like the rest of us globally are guilty by association in the eyes of many, esp the media.
