9780551025035: Who are the Evangelicals?: Tracing the Roots of the Modern Day Movement

Synopsis

This study explains the contemporary evangelical movement, both by tracing its historical roots and by exploring its major doctrinal concerns. The book looks at what distinguishes evangelicals from other Christians, explains what unifies evangelicals and draws attention to their diversity. Special consideration is given to issues such as the Bible, salvation, conversion, world mission, social concern, heaven and hell, and ecumenism. It also highlights the dangers of recent success in the light of the growth and prominence given to evangelicalism, and presents evangelicals with a challenge to remain true to their heritage. The book should provoke interest among non-Christians and non-evangelicals curious about the contemporary evangelical Church and its teachings. It is also suitable for theological students, pastors and lay readers within the evangelical Church.
