Well tell me, Bob, what description would you apply to Jim writing of Evangelicals:

“Their condemnation is written on their bank books and in the dust on their Bible covers.”

Fill in a word, please: Jim Elliot _____ Evangelicals.

In a similar vein, btw, Jim is quoted in EE's book Shadow of the Almighty:

“American believers have sold their lives to the service of Mammon, and God has his rightful way of dealing with those who succumb to the spirit of Laodicea.”

Jim's journal is full of talk of himself trying to be like the Old Testament priest Phinehas. He seems to see himself 'spearing' to death the American church.

I wrote about this subject in more detail in my post "When Evangelicals Were Cannibals." I quoted Kathryn T. Long analyzing Jim's motivations in going to Ecuador:

“He would recreate the New Testament church in the pristine environment of a jungle tribe, where he didn’t have to deal with the accretions and apathy that had tainted Christianity over the years.”
