Summary:

Blending illuminating scholarship with balanced judgment, this well-received investigation clarifies the distinctive aspects of evangelicalism as it lays the foundations for productive dialogue with others in the Christian tradition. Rooted in the classical tradition of reformation theology informed by biblical spirituality, Dr. Bloesch places theological issues in the context of both a historical perspective and the new life found in Christ. The fruit of twenty years of scholarship by one of evangelical Christianity's senior theologians, this accessible two-volume work combined into one book insightfully explores the implications of a broad-based Evangelicalism.

The first section of the book addresses the topics of God, the nature of humanity, sin, and forgiveness. The second section addresses perspectives on life, ministry, and hope in evangelical Christianity.
