About Four Views on the Spectrum of EvangelicalismFour Views on the Spectrum of Evangelicalism compares and contrasts four distinct positions on the current fundamentalist-evangelical spectrum in light of the history of American fundamentalism and evangelicalism. The contributors each state their case for one of four views on the spectrum of evangelicalism:
• Kevin T. Bauder: Fundamentalism • R. Albert Mohler Jr.: Conservative/confessional evangelicalism • John G. Stackhouse Jr.: Generic evangelicalism • Roger E. Olson: Postconservative evangelicalism
Each contributor defines evangelicalism, locates his view in historical context, and discusses how he understands Scripture and its authority. To illustrate the differences, each addresses the three issues recently contested within evangelicalism:
• The question of Christian cooperation illustrated by Evangelicals and Catholics Together and the Manhattan Declaration • The question of doctrinal boundaries raised by open theism, a debate that has shaken denominations, schools, and the Evangelical Theological Society in the 1990s and 2000s • Penal substitutionary atonement—a key doctrinal issue related to the gospel
Each author explains his position, which is critiqued by the other three authors. The interactive and fair-minded nature of this format allows the reader to consider the strengths and weaknesses of each view and draw informed, personal conclusions. |
