The Virtue Signaling Death Wish of Evangelicalism

Erick Erickson says many good things. He also says many incorrect things. Today he illustrated what’s wrong with Evangelicalism in America—the lack of solid biblical and systematic theology to deal with politics. A robust Political Theology is needed.

Unfortunately, Erickson and his fellow travelers like David French or Russell Moore, the former Democratic congressional staffer and Immigration advocate leading the Southern Baptist Convention’s ERLC, provide shallow virtue signaling piety over real substance. Instead, look to real theologians like William Lane Craig, Wanye Grudem, Norman Geisler, and Robert A. J. Gagnon.

Erickson tweeted a thread on politics and faith where he created a false dilemma between fighting for religious liberty and compromising our Christian standards.
