Overview

A noted evangelical scholar presents a biblical/theologicaldefinition of evangelicalism that is rooted in the New Testament'sdescription of the gospel and that retains its relevancetoday. What defines today's evangelicals? Are they people who fit anempirical, social-science profile? Have historical roots in theReformation? Hold to certain theological priorities or fall withinparticular parameters? Is the term evangelical even usefulanymore? D. A. Carson responds to all of these questions and more in Evangelicalism . Carson defines and upacks the term,advocating a biblical/theological foundation that is built on thedescription of the gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15. Firstestablishing that evangelicalism is Christological, biblical,historical, theological, apostolic, heraldic, and personal, heproceeds to demonstrate its continuing relevance and our need forits scripturally defined boundaries. Carson then critiques MarkNoll's book Is the Reformation Over? and draws examplesfrom Catholic doctrine, Christian experience, and modernscholarship to illustrate that the issues at stake in theReformation are not settled. Carson's book will be welcomed by readers concerned about thefuture of evangelicalism and thinking about evangelicalism's placein today's religious forums.
