They explore the sociological aspects of the movement, including field theory and the strategies and tactics employed by its leaders. They also discuss the generational gap in leadership and the perception of influence within the movement. The conversation concludes with a reflection on current conversations and movements within evangelicalism and the potential future directions of the field.TakeawaysThe Reformed Resurgence movement within American evangelicalism emerged as a response to the emerging church conversation and the need to reclaim a more traditional, Calvinistic theology.The movement was largely led by baby boomers and Gen X leaders, but it attracted a significant following among millennials.The movement, while influential within its own circles, constituted a relatively small percentage of the broader evangelical landscape.The movement employed various strategies and tactics, such as focusing on urban centers, promoting complementarian gender beliefs, and positioning themselves as gatekeepers of true evangelicalism.The current conversation within evangelicalism revolves around political theology and a reevaluation of the apolitical posture of the past.Chapters00:00 Introduction00:39 Background of the Book03:06 Personal Background and Interest05:01 Involvement in the Reformed Resurgence06:27 Origins of the Reformed Resurgence09:40 Generational Gap in Leadership10:21 Age Range of Leaders11:02 Perception of Influence12:01 Inflated Sense of Importance15:30 Field Theory and its Application25:58 Current Conversations and Movements40:10 Future Assessment of Current Movements45:12 ConclusionSupport the showSign up for the Patreon - https://www.patreon.com/chasedavisFollow Full Proof Theology on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/fullprooftheology/Follow Full Proof Theology on Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/fullprooftheology/
