The Cambridge Companion to Evangelical Theology

Description

Evangelicalism, a vibrant and growing expression of historic Christian orthodoxy, is already one of the largest and most geographically diverse global religious movements. This Companion, first published in 2007, offers an articulation of evangelical theology that is both faithful to historic evangelical convictions and in dialogue with contemporary intellectual contexts and concerns. In addition to original and creative essays on central Christian doctrines such as Christ, the Trinity, and Justification, it breaks new ground by offering evangelical reflections on issues such as gender, race, culture, and world religions. This volume also moves beyond the confines of Anglo-American perspectives to offer separate essays exploring evangelical theology in African, Asian, and Latin American contexts. The contributors to this volume form an unrivalled list of many of today's most eminent evangelical theologians and important emerging voices.

Timothy Larsen is Professor of Theology at Wheaton College, Illinois. He is author of Crisis of Doubt: Honest Faith in Nineteenth-Century England (2006) and editor of the Biographical Dictionary of Evangelicals (2003).

"This Cambridge Companion provides a valuable resource for the study of evangelical theology. The various contributions are intended to assist both scholars and students to understand more fully evangelical theology especially as it is present in Africa, Asia and Latin America. This Book deserves a place in any theological library. " Lucien J. Richard, Catholic Library World
