Synopsis: A new take on evangelical theology re-interprets the role of Christian philosophy in the modern world.

From the Back Cover: "Stanley Grenz urges a re-forming of evangelical theology in a coherent apologetic, churchly, missional, forward-looking mold so as to interface effectively with the intellectual thrusts of postmodern and post-Christian culture. His exposition is a tour de force that commands our attention, and merits our gratitude." -J. I. Packer, professor of theology, Regent College

"Stanley Grenz presses the question of whether evangelicalism can embrace a doctrine of the church that is believably universal and comprehensive. Evangelicals, Catholics, and other Christians have a very big stake in how that question is answered in the years ahead." -Rev. Richard John Neuhaus, editor-in-chief, First Things

"This is an important and provocative book. Its analysis will be challenged by other evangelicals who have a different vision of both the history and future of our movement, but Stan Grenz has set forth an interpretation that cannot be ignored." -Timothy George, dean, Beeson Divinity School

"This account of where evangelical thelogy has been and where it is going bears all the virtues that one expects from a book by Stanley Grenz: clarity, fair-mindedness, thoughtfulness, comprehension, and faithfulness." -Gary Dorrien, professor of religious studies, Kalamazoo College

"His thoughtful attempt to reconstruct evangelical theology after the demise of foundationalism and realism, along with his scholarly and irenic response to critics of 'the evangelical left,' should raise to a higher plane any further discussions about the nature and future of evangelicalism. Likewise, Grenz's continuing emphasis on the church as believing community and his call for a 'generous orthodoxy' offers an agenda worth taking seriously." -Robert A. Pyne, professor of systematic theology, Dallas Theological Seminary

"Stanley Grenz, a leading American theologian, has written a lively and engaging work that should help American evangelicals chart the challenging course of their theological future." -Kenneth J. Collins, professor of historical theology and Wesley studies, Asbury Theological
