Worth
noting
'How
the West Lost Mysticism: When did Western Christians stop expecting mystical
union with God through Christ?' by Frederica Matthewes-Green -- http://www.beliefnet.com/story/43/story_4340_1.html
'The Opening
of the Evangelical Mind', by Alan Wolfe, in the October 2000 issue of
The Atlantic Monthly (US). 'Of all America's religious traditions,
the author writes, evangelical Protestantism, at least in the twentieth-century
conservative forms, has long ranked "dead last in intellectual stature."
Now evangelical thinkers are trying to revitalize their tradition. Can
they turn an intellectual backwater into an intellectual beacon?' A thoughtful,
interesting article. -- http://www.theatlantic.com/issues/2000/10/wolfe.htm
