The purpose is not primarily to describe evangelical thought leaders who provide leadership for the church and/or academy. For those looking for guidance in this area, see Mark A. Noll, Jesus Christ and the Life of the Mind (Grand Rapids, Eerdmans, 2011); Owen Strachen, Awakening the Evangelical Mind: An Intellectual History of the Neo-Evangelical Movement (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 2015), 109–80. Our purposes should not be confused with the recent proposals related to pastor theologians. For helpful insight in this area, see R. Albert Mohler, “The Pastor as Theologian,” in A Theology for the Church, 723–28; and, Scott M. Manetsch, Calvin’s Company of Pastors (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 2013). Neither should our purpose be confused with those who are calling for pastors as public theologians nor those expressing the hope for more public Christian intellectuals. For guidance in these areas, please see Kevin J. Vanhoozer and Owen Strachan, The Pastor as Public Theologian: Reclaiming a Lost Vision (Grand Rapids: Baker, 2015) as well as R. R. Reno, “The Christian Intellectual,” First Things .
