A problem I have seen among evangelical circles, which Edgar addresses in his chapter, is the idea of driving for dominance or fleeing for purity. As I have seen, it fleshed out in my own life and the circles I have crossed paths with, most are willing to give lip service to the idea, that we should be in the world but most do not follow through with their actions. Instead, they tend to seclude themselves in order to protect themselves. An idea Edgar presents as opposite that which we are called to as believers.
My question in all this is What is an acceptable “temporary withdrawal”, and how should or can this be practiced with in evangelical circles?
