Evangelical Theology

Description

This book provides a lively introduction to the exciting discipline of evangelical theology. Aligning with the global Lausanne Movement, the authors identify Scripture and mission as methodological centres of evangelical theology. Evangelical Theology highlights the key evangelical themes of atonement, conversion, justification, and sanctification, as well as recent developments around trinitarian theology and pneumatology.

It is my sincere wish that every evangelical could be discipled with the aid of this volume, and that everyone who has ever wondered 'what really is the evangelical faith?' would use this book to find out. Uche Anizor, Rob Price, and Hank Voss are true Doctors of the Church. Evangelical Theology is sure-footed, lucid, wise, and attentive to Christian doctrine as it has been articulated across the centuries and around the globe. -- Timothy Larsen, Edinburgh University, UK This book will prove to be a vital and accessible resource for anyone seeking to reclaim a vibrant and personal evangelical theology. It provides a clear history of evangelical theology's roots alongside a concise summary of its features in terms of Bible, cross, conversion, and mission. -- Don Davis, The Urban Ministry Institute, USA During a time of division and ambivalence around evangelical praxis, Evangelical Theology invigorates future trajectories and renews the historical roots of our great faith tradition. Price, Anizor & Voss provides scholars and pastors with seminal doctrinal emphases in our post-Christian milieu. -- Rukshan Fernando, Azusa Pacific University, USA This welcome book rescues "Evangelical" from its North American captivity to politics and the culture wars by placing it in its proper historical and global context and by identifying its distinctive convictions and guiding principles for doing theology in accordance with the gospel (evangel). A helpful corrective to simplistic caricatures. -- Kevin J. Vanhoozer, Trinity Evangelical Divinity School, USA This is theology rooted in the gospel and aimed at the edification of the church! Anizor, Price, and Voss have given a beautiful summation of evangelical theology and I hope that it is read widely for the sake of the church being more deeply formed by the good news of Jesus. -- Jeremy Treat, Biola University, USA
