Problem with Evangelical Theology, The: Testing the Exegetical Foundations of Calvinism, Dispensationalism, and Wesleyanism
Evangelicals of all stripes need to take account of Witherington's contentions here--to make us exegetically honest and theologically responsible. He takes on the three streams of evangelicalism: Reformed, Wesleyan, and Dispensationalist views to examine their exegetical foundations and theological structures. The result is critique, but also a call for biblical orthodoxy and proclamation of biblical truth in postmodern society. His perspectives should gain a wide hearing. --Donald K. McKim, Editor, Encyclopedia of the Reformed FaithRecommended. Upper-level undergraduates and above. --CHOICEBen Witherington reminds us that being Reformed is a continual process. He calls Evangelical Christians to a fresh look at their claim to take Scripture seriously. Few scholars are better placed to do so. Witherington is authoritative and writes here with his usual compelling style. --Trevor Hart, Principal of St Mary's College and Head of the School of Divinity, University of St AndrewsEvangelicals of all stripes need to take account of Witherington's contentions here--to make us exegetically honest and theologically responsible.
