If American Protestants have been polarized between progressive-liberals on the 'left' and conservative evangelicals on the 'right, ' Lee and Dearborn and their colleagues have broken through this either-or, not merely in pointing out that the middle is a much more expansive spectrum than just another stance, but in showing that both commitments to biblical and theological orthodoxy and attentiveness to the contemporary world and its complex realities require the virtuous practice of spiritual discernment, one that is faithful to the gospel rather than beholden to any ideology or tradition. --Amos Yong, dean of the School of Theology and the School of Intercultural Studies, Fuller Seminary
