(RNS) Publisher Backs Off Warning Label for Evangelical Books

Southern Baptist bookstores have quietly suspended a four-year-old program that warned customers to read with “discernment” books by several up-and-coming authors whose books “could be considered inconsistent with historical evangelical theology.”

Chris Rodgers, the director of product standards and customer relations for Nashville-based LifeWay, said the warnings were discontinued because they were “irrelevant to our customers.”

“There was little to no interest in it,” Rodgers said. “No one asked about the authors.”
