Reviews

"It is a book of wide-ranging essays on the current state of evangelical theology, with contributions by a who's who of evangelical theology and practice (from Alistair McGrath and Scot McKnight to Dallas Willard and Howard Snyder). It is the rare reference book that is accessible and relevant."--Mark Galli, Christianity Today
"Suffice it to say in a short note that this volume easily assumes pride of place as the starting point for those interested in the state-of-the-question regarding evangelical theology...Kudos to the editor for this major achievement!"--Religious Studies Review
"Almost every entry is as fresh as it is erudite...this volume on the whole is well worth Lutheran attention."--Lutheran Quarterly
