In evangelical individualism people think of their personal relationship with God in isolation (“Just me and Jesus”) and forge their destiny apart from any church authority. While holding relatively low opinions of history, traditions, and the church, they turn to the experiences of self and

I remember a few years ago seeing an ad in the paper for a drive in passion play. It was like a drive in movie, you could watch the story of Jesus, the passion play without ever getting out of your car. And I’ll never forget the ad. It said this: “Come and experience the life of Christ all from
