Evangelical Influences: Profiles Of Key Figures And Movements Rooted In The Reformation

Illuminating writings about theologians, doctrine, and church history. Evangelical Influences, a collection of writings by J. I. Packer, explores the lives of influential theologians and the issues that motivated and inspired them into action, including the authority of Scripture, justification, the glory of God, and the hope of heaven. Packer outlines current trends in church history, the state of British theology in the 20th century, and the theological challenges now facing evangelicalism. This book is valuable as a restatement of many basic evangelical beliefs and provides historical insights, showing how much we can learn from the past while leading us from intellectual understanding to worship and devotion.
