| Résumé : |
Classical or pentecostal, charismatic or reformed, the spectrum of evangelical belief and practice today is infinitely varied.
Evangelicalism transcends national and denominational differences and enjoys considerable worldwide influence yet it is frequently taken less than seriously by religious commentators and is often known to the wider world only by caricature. Evangelicals themselves sometimes have only a scanty knowledge of their historical and theological identity, which frequently manifests itself in narrowness ' of vision and rigidity of judgement. Only by understanding our past can we know ourselves today, argues Derek Tidball, and in this warm and enjoyable account he surveys the modern evangelical movement around the world, tracing its historic and doctrinal roots in order to explain today’s exciting diversity of expression. Evangelicalism is portrayed as a dynamic faith, not a static religion, and this informed and wise guide is essential reading for all who are concerned to establish whether the many new trends appearing are authentic expressions of biblical Christianity. |
