USA Today says the number of people who label themselves “Christian” has declined 11%.

In The Christian Science Monitor Michael Spencer predictes a “major collapse” ¬†of evangelical Christianity within 10 years.

And the death of evangelicalism is a hot topic at Christianity Today.

So, if you’re a Christian publisher, where do you look for a burgeoning audience?

Perhaps it’s “New Calvinism,” which Time Magazine has as #3 on it’s list of 10 Ideas Changing the World Right Now.¬†

Neo-Calvinist ministers and authors don’t operate quite on a Rick Warren scale. But, notes Ted Olsen, a managing editor at Christianity Today, “everyone knows where the energy and the passion are in the Evangelical world” ‚Äî with the pioneering new-Calvinist John Piper of Minneapolis, Seattle’s pugnacious Mark Driscoll and Albert Mohler, head of the Southern Seminary of the huge Southern Baptist Convention. The Calvinist-flavored ESV Study Bible sold out its first printing, and Reformed blogs like Between Two Worlds are among cyber-Christendom’s hottest links.

I am now¬†one of the¬†growing 15% who are ‘nones’¬†, but¬†I have to chortle because the church I left in my youth was die-hard Calvinist while Evangelicalism was growing, and they’re trying their darndest to be Evangelical now that Calvinism is on the rise. Those old Dutch folks can’t catch a break.
