Senior year of college I was sitting in a debate. The topic? The legalization of prostitution. I was sitting on the far side of the room, near the back row.

Last fall, an article called “The Gospel for iGens” was published on Christianity Today’s website about “the next generation’s” need to hear Good News that can break through their defenses. Scot McKnight asserts that emerging adults (those between 18 and 30) form a generation that is largely insensitive to the potency of God’s holiness, the [...]
