so, we are redeemed through christ.n we can help others be free and live. it is a profound shift from the original intention. i have had a debate about this. it was reviewed in "christianity today," which is theologically a lot more conservative than billy sunday when he started the magazine. "christianity today" criticized "the battle hymn of the republic." it is no longer an anthem of billy sunday's evangelical ministry. his son who is far more conservative theologically and politically than billy graham was has a lot to do with it. they argue that a true evangelical does not see christ as an exemplar. he is only an object of your faith. whereas if you sing the song as it was originally written, as was performed for much of the 20th century, as he died to make men holy, let us die to make men free, we are being inspired by christ. christ is an exemplar of what we would like to do. i think that is a way to narrow understanding of evangelicalism. after all, throughout the 20th century, a central message or question amon
