Reconstructing Evangelicalism

“This timely book continues efforts by the Center for Pastor Theologians to clarify understanding of the Christian message, assess the ever-present ‘noise’ of a media-obsessed generation, and encourage church leaders to focus their efforts on Gospel proclamation. It makes a particularly important contribution in concentrating on first-order Christian truths as a way to deliver American Evangelicalism from the various forms of cultural captivity that pose such serious threats today.”


—Mark Noll, author of America’s Book: The Rise and Decline of a Bible Civilization, 1794–1911





“Plenty of words have been written about the meaning of ‘Evangelicalism,’ but this collection of essays moves beyond warring descriptions into robust engagement and constructive proposals. Reconstructing Evangelicalism asks not merely ‘What is Evangelicalism?’ but ‘What should it be?’ Scholars and church leaders will benefit from the questions posed and the solutions offered in this diverse collection.”
