Synopsis

In this exciting edited collection, Tom Greggs challenges us to think afresh about evangelical theology: where it is today, and where it is headed. Bringing together an outstanding group of young theologians to engage critically and constructively with traditional evangelical theology, the book seeks to open up the field and encourage ‘good practice’ in its study.

New Perspectives in Evangelical Theology addresses some of the major themes within evangelical theology including election, the Holy Spirit, eschatology, and sanctification. It examines the Bible and the Church, and has chapters on worship and the sacraments. The final section investigates the interaction of evangelicalism and society, considering politics, sex and the body, and other faiths such as Judaism and Islam. Framed by a foreword from David F. Ford and a postscript from Richard B. Hays, the book is an invaluable collection of new thinking.

About this title

Review:

'Tom Greggs has assembled a group of younger evangelical theologians to compose essays on core theological questions as well some pressing contemporary concerns. The contributors- with courage, resolution, and some heavy artillery from within the great tradition of the Church -break down stereotypes, correct old courses, and build strong, constructive bridges. They are a future generation that is big with promise.' - The Rev. Dr.theol. Paul F.M. Zahl, Rector, All Saints Episcopal Church, USA
