Mark Knoll
Book •
The Scandal of the Evangelical Mind by Mark Noll is a critical analysis of the anti-intellectual tendencies within the American evangelical movement.

Noll argues that evangelicalism's historical suspicion of intellectual pursuits has weakened its ability to engage effectively with contemporary culture.

The book examines the roots of this anti-intellectualism, tracing them back to historical and theological factors.

Noll calls for a renewal of intellectual rigor among evangelicals, urging them to embrace scholarship and critical thinking.

He contends that a more robust intellectual life is essential for the health and credibility of evangelicalism in the modern world.
