Reviews

[Joey Kaching · Rating 3 out of 5]

3.5 / 5.00

A collection of generally mediocre essays loosely gathered around the topic of evangelicalism future, written by theologians of various kinds.

Although there are a few essays that were excellent and worth the read on their own, i’m still undecided as to whether this reward justified reading through the majority of the essays that were substandard.

The particularly good essays:
- Evangelicalism and the Church by Vanhoozer
- Evangelicalism and Biblical Intepretation by I Howard Marshall
- Future Trends in Mission by Christopher Wright

Overall not worth the read. Seek out the above essays through another medium.
