      The Crisis of Evangelical Christianity

      Today's Price £24.89



      Product Description

      In the broad context of Christianity as it developed over two millennia, and with special reference to the last three centuries, this discussion finds that Evangelicalism has repeatedly offered a reduced and distorted understanding of the faith. The evangelical outlook is much less scriptural than evangelicals generally assume. When it comes to appreciating the order of creation, our calling to develop integral Christian thinking and living, the religious significance of culture, and the coming of the kingdom, reductionist Evangelicalism struggles with its only rarely acknowledged deficiencies. As a result, we have all too often ended up with a Christianity shorn of its cosmic scope and wide cultural implications, and restricted to institutional church life and the cultivation of private spiritual experience. The consequences are frequently enervating and corrosive. Without disregarding what is important in the past, evangelicals are here challenged to take the Bible much more seriously, and thereby transcend the limitations of their habitual reductionism. Evangelicals are encouraged to embrace an integral and full-orbed understanding of Christian discipleship that will equip the faithful to address the deep and complex challenges of the twenty-first century. ""Dr. Sewell leads us on a detailed journey through the history of Christianity to show how the contemporary church has come to be largely doctrinally shallow, spiritually stunted, and unable to address the pressing problems of our day. . . . He calls for a renewal of spiritual, intellectual, and practical Christianity in which evangelicalism would have the courage to critique itself, along with its traditions and doctrines, in the light of the authority of Scripture."" --Chris
