Here we raise the question of the precise relationship of
evangelicalism and fundamentalism as historical phenomena, I
do not mean here to give any credence to what I predict will be the common evangelical response to Barr — that he fails to distinguish appropriately a
modern enlightened
evangelicalism from a more benighted fundamentalism.
The missional approach is different than
modern evangelicalism, particularly in this region, because «the work of salvation, in its full sense, is 1) about whole human beings, not merely souls; 2) about the present, not simply the future; and 3) about what God
does through us, not merely what God
does in and for us.»
