Dr Aaron Edwards is an academic theologian, writer, and preacher. He worked for several years at a UK evangelical Bible College, before being infamously fired for defending a Biblical view of sexuality. Before this he was a lecturer at the University of Aberdeen, where he previously completed his PhD. He lives near Sheffield, UK, with his wife Molly, and six children. He has written numerous articles and books, including Taking Kierkegaard Back to Church (2022) and A Theology of Preaching and Dialectic (2018). He also co-hosts a podcast on issues between church and culture (Pod of the Gaps) and another on evangelical reformation for men (That Good Fight). He writes regularly at thatgoodfight.substack.com
The evangelical desire to not “offend” too often leads us to subtly shrink back from what we say we believe when the time comes to show how much we truly believe it.
One of the problems in the modern Church is that too many of its leaders have wanted to seem like polite civilians rather than faithful disciples. But mild Christianity is no Christianity at all.
