[lbo-talk] Evangelicals are the Jews of the left

[Joseph Catron]

Here's the thing I'm not getting: in what sense do you consider these
churches to be "non-evangelical"?  I'm aware that some of them have
given up, for example, on biblical inerrancy, but I also know of
Jewish congregations that don't seem to believe much of anything, but
are still universally regarded as Jewish.
