Aaron Renn on New Calvinism in 2025--they should recognize they are a not-very-influential subculture, and would be healthier if they stopped trying to play referee for everyone outside their ranks now that their superstars are dead, disgraced or absent from the movement (retired or moved on and such)

Ironically, perhaps, the Mere Orthodoxy link was just a springboard for the Aaron Renn post.

Brad Vermurlen's Reformed Resurgence, another book I recommend as providing some background on the rise and fall of Mars Hill

Many years ago Michael Spencer, the Internet Monk, wrote about the coming evangelical collapse.

Now, Brad Vermurlen has a book out that builds a case that in order to understand the rise of New Calvinism, real or perceived, we can’t  begin to properly understand that “Reformed resurgence” without understanding a dissolution of American Evangelicalism as a field rather than as any coherent, identifiable set of beliefs or practices.  Field theory doesn’t seem hugely difficult for me to understand but over at Mere Orthodoxy there were some jokes about how abstract the concept of relative growth of subcultures within a larger dissolving culture seemed to be.
