Steve:
I got the pdcast from Resurgence of Keller from your website. It is simply brilliant. He is a favorite of many students. I am not sure we have to set up just another adversarial category like "evangelism v. missional." But such categories do sell, and I suppose that is the bottom line. The way Driscoll, for example, defines Reformissional, is pretty much what I try to call evangelism in class, drawing from the NT.
Your blog is quite informative. I also read your open letter to seminarians. Interesting, but I am not sure every seminarian in all our seminaries (there are many differences) would share your experience. Thanks for the insights however.

Thanks Alvin. I agree not everyone has had the same seminary experiences. I never really tried to make that point. I was simply trying to give an encouragement for seminarians to realize their role in changing the direction of the SBC.
I appreciate your kind words about the blog.
