A few decades ago, the mainline Protestant churches did not necessarily want their members to find out what was being taught in their colleges and seminaries.
The extent of their theologians' rejection of the truth of Scripture would not sit well with the average church member, even in the more liberal denominations.
Today, this theology gap - separating those in the pews from some of the scholars training their pastors - concerns the nature of God. And this gap is opening up not in the bastions of liberal theology, but among evangelicals.
