Go with the flow. Times change. Nothing ever stays the same. So proclaims the voice of our age. But is this wisdom of the world congruous with the wisdom of God? Is the church really too old-fashioned, or has it turned a blind eye as the world crept in and redefined God's commands and His power? In fifteen clearly defined essays, John H. Armstrong and fourteen other evangelical leaders examine exactly what the sufficiency of Scripture and the authority of the Gospel entail theologically and what that means to us as followers of the Lord Jesus Christ. What does the name 'evangelical' mean historically, and how has its definition been altered? Is theology really important to the modern church? What about 'seeker-sensitive' churches? Should we manipulate the gospel to reach those it would otherwise offend? All sorts of people are claiming they've had 'revelations from God.' Does God still speak to us apart from the Bible? Can Scripture really heal hurting people? Isn't that the job of 'trained professionals?'Examine the answers to these and other tough questions with some of the leading theologians of our time, as they respond to the challenges brought by neoevangelicalism to the authority of the Living Word.… (more)

Epigraph
I know what constituted an Evangelical in former times....I have no clear notion what constitutes one now.
~Lord Shaftesbury
It is mere cant to cry, "We are evangelical; we are all evangelical" and yet decline to say what evangelical means.
~Charles H. Spurgeon
Dedication
For the reformation of the church and the revival of biblical Christianity in an increasingly dark time in history when integrity in both life and doctrine is the crying need of evangelical Christianity.

And for my daughter, Stacy, who quietly loves God, displays real zeal for life and amazing devotion to her father. Her commitment to serve her dad in the ministry to which God has called him is a continual source of encouragement.
First words
[Introduction] The sixteenth-century Protestant Reformation began as a movement to purify the church of corrupt practices.
Forty-some years ago, when "Time" publisher Henry Luce declared his era "The American Century," he appeared to be stating the obvious.
