- Christianity and Culture
- Mainstream Evangelicalism since 1949.
- Orthodoxy vs. Orthopraxy
- Media's Coverage of American Evangelicals.
- How seminaries have dealt with the questions of the 20th and 21st century.

The book does what Rick the Librarian stated good biographies should do: (1. Discover Fascinating people) (2.Rediscover people we think we know well) (3. Portray a hero dynamically, warts and all) (4. Learn how history was influenced by the life of the individual) (6. to celebrate ones culture through a deeper look). David Aikman succeeds in all 5 areas. One thing that was disappointing was the lack of pictures to go along with the narrative.
