YourMove.org He’s rewriting a lot of the rules of evangelicalism. Probably not to your taste, but he goes out of his way to read and discuss atheists and jettisons a surprisingly large percentage of fundamentalist dogma in order to focus on Jesus. Again, I suspect you won’t be able to stand him personally, but he opens the door to a much more intellectually sound and generous version of evangelicalism that would address many of your concerns. While this makes him very controversial, his bona fides (son of Charles Stanley) make him hard to reject out of hand, and he’s gained a huge following.
