COLORADO - This season, with each cliff-hanging win or dismal loss for the Denver Broncos, [Tim] Tebow, an active, professing Evangelical Christian, has used his gifts and his position as quarterback to create a powerful 21st century witness for Jesus. What is new and what makes Tebow an intriguing figure--no matter how the Broncos do in the playoffs they just barely made--is the scale and scope of his witness. Tebow is perhaps the most significant Evangelical Christian in the country. Tebow's witness is the latest chapter in a decades-old Evangelical movement to transform America. [link]
