Converting Evangelicals

Angelo Fiddelmann has called for a movement to convert evangelicals to Christianity. Fiddelmann is himself a secular Christian, a New Testament man, who takes the teachings of Jesus seriously. 


My own experience with evangelicals is that some are unfamiliar with basic Bible stories. Recently I was chatting with an evangelical, and I mentioned Jonah. He stared at me blankly. Never heard of Jonah. 


If converted, Evangelicals may become familiar with, for example, Mark, where Jesus says, "You shall love your neighbor as yourself." Note what Mark does not say: "If a neighbor woman crosses the desert holding a small child, you should take away the child and keep it. Now it belongs to you."
