Vaccines, Vocation, and Competitive Agency

Body

“So even at least some of the 54% of evangelicals who do intend to get the shot are doing it primarily for themselves, not to stop the spread of the virus to others.

I am not sure there even is such a thing as an American evangelical movement anymore.” - Roger Oleson

Body

“Like past surveys, the 2020 State of Theology survey reveals some encouraging results, but it also reveals confusion and a lack of theological knowledge among evangelicals. In this article, we will take a look at each of the thirty-one questions on the survey in an attempt to help readers understand the orthodox Christian view on these issues as well as the biblical grounds for it.” - Ligonier
