An Undercover Evangelical in Manhattan

One definition of an evangelical is this: someone who views the Bible as the central authority in life and the church and has read C.S. Lewis more than once. Evangelical reading may not have always been wide, but it has always been regular and didactic. If you grew up in an evangelical home, there's a good chance that all of the following books were on your shelves: Lewis's “The Chronicles of Narnia,” Elisabeth Elliot's “Shadow of the Almighty,” J.I. Packer's “Knowing God” and, not least, Oswald Chambers's “My Utmost for His Highest.”
