(ChurchLeaders) In a recent interview on NBC’s Meet the Press Reports with Chuck Todd, Russell Moore discussed the “secularization of evangelicalism” and whether the term “evangelical” has lost its meaning altogether. Moore is the former president of the Southern Baptist Convention’s Ethics & Religious Liberty Commission and current director of the Public Theology Project at Christianity Today.
In the interview, Moore said, “The use of religion as a means to an end…for an end of politics, for various sorts of ends that really can transform and change the nature of Christianity itself. So if you look at, for instance, some of the tactics often used by people who are claiming to be evangelical Christians, they’re often quite short of the Sermon on the Mount.”
