Why do so many evangelicals follow leaders with dubious credentials when they have other options in their own faith? Exploring intellectual authority within evangelicalism, the authors reveal how the concept of anointing--being chosen by God to speak for him--established a conservative evangelical leadership isolated from secular arts and sciences.
