  <default_description>&lt;I&gt;The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind&lt;/I&gt;, by Mark Noll, is &quot;an epistle from a wounded lover.&quot; Noll loves God and he loves academics, but he is wounded because many of his colleagues deny the possibility of maintaining the integrity of both loves. Noll's epistle is a memoir, a historical study, and a wide-ranging piece of cultural criticism that argues, &quot;The scandal of the evangelical mind is that there is not much of an evangelical mind.&quot; Noll considers the effects of evangelical intellectual atrophy on American politics, science, and the arts, and he ultimately offers wise and practical advice for readers who want to explore the full intellectual implications of the incarnation of Christ. &lt;i&gt;--Michael Joseph Gross&lt;/i&gt; </default_description>
