A "how-to" manual for doing theology, and a handbook of etiquette for doctrinal discussions with other believers.

This popular-level introductory text presents the proper manner, mode, and means of engaging fruitfully in theology.

RetroChristianity
Author: Michael J. Svigel
Publisher: Crossway
ISBN: 1433528517
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 322
Book Description
Evangelicalism is in trouble. Surveying the modern evangelical landscape, professor Michael Svigel asks, "Why does evangelicalism appear to be spinning out of control, losing appeal to younger generations, dwindling in numbers, or selling out to pop culture to muster a crowd?" He seeks to answer this question by looking to the past—to a Retro Christianity. Calling for a return to evangelicalism's historical and theological roots, Svigel begins by addressing some of present-day evangelicalism's problems and explores what can be done to help churches regain a healthy perspective on doctrine. He then gives practical examples of what establishing a biblical, historical, and theologically sound foundation will mean for Christians as they think through aspects of church life and worship. As the numbers of those confused or disenchanted with evangelicalism continue to grow, Svigel's book meets a timely need and will benefit many readers with his balanced argument for preserving the evangelical faith.
