Post- and Younger Evangelicals

Matthijs joined forces with his brother Steven and the guys kicked off a discussion on post-evangelicalism (part 2 here). Modern evangelicals create standard procedures, while post-evangelicals create a dependency on God, says Matthijs. Modern evangelical thinking is focused on the development of competence (especially in communication and management), post-evangelical thinking is focused on character development (especially in discipline and servanthood).

These postings are in Dutch, but in the Anglosaxon world this discussion has already been going on for some time. Check out Dave Tomlinson's book 'The Post-Evangelical' and Robert Webber's 'The Younger Evangelicals'. Also interesting is this discussion on Ship of Fools about whether there is a distinct post-evangelical movement.
