description: Thirteen Reformed scholars take on postmodern evangelicals and provide a solid biblical critique of their ideas. While self-described post-conservative evangelicals enjoy increasing influence in the evangelical world they represent a significant challenge to biblical faith. Popularizers like Brian McLaren (of Emergent Church fame) trade on the work of scholars like Stan Grenz John Franke and Roger Olson whose innovations represent a major makeover of traditional and historic evangelical theology. This is especially the case with the doctrines of Scripture the atonement and the character of God-all of which stand at the center of evangelical Christianity. In Reforming or Conforming?  scholars such as John Bolt Scott Clark Paul Helm and Paul Helseth join editors Gary Johnson and Ron Gleason in analyzing and critiquing the ideas of those who promote postmodernism as a positive force in theology. Pastors laymen and college students will find this book a helpful resource in understanding and refuting postmodern evangelicalism. Includes a foreword by David F. Wells.
