Another shortcoming is “Sweeney’s over optimism about the future of Evangelicalism.”7 Miles Mullins says, “In my opinion, he underestimates the increasing cultural fragmentation of the United States and the larger world … undeniably leaving an indelible mark on an increasingly fragmented evangelicalism.”8 Sweeney provides an excellent bibliography and notes at the end of each chapter for further study.

Evangelicals must diligently embrace their identity and pursue reform according to the Word of God when it is come to the future of Evangelism. Sweeney
