Theology and the Mirror of Scripture cover

This insightful exploration of evangelicalism offers a fresh perspective on its theological foundations, as presented in Theology and the Mirror of Scripture.

The book Theology and the Mirror of Scripture delves into the complexities surrounding the definition of evangelicalism and its theological boundaries. The authors, Kevin Vanhoozer and Daniel Treier, engage with the ongoing debates about whether evangelicalism should be viewed as a fixed set of beliefs or a more fluid, dynamic faith centered around core principles. This inaugural volume in the Studies in Christian Doctrine and Scripture series aims to provide clarity and direction in a time of increasing fragmentation within the evangelical community.

In Theology and the Mirror of Scripture, the authors propose an 'anchored' approach to evangelical theology, emphasizing its roots in the Trinity. They argue that understanding the God of the gospel as reflected in Scripture can help redefine and strengthen evangelical beliefs. This perspective encourages readers to explore the depths of Christian wisdom, fostering a sense of unity among believers while acknowledging the diverse expressions of faith within evangelicalism.

Ultimately, this work serves as a clarion call for a reconceptualization of evangelical theology. By focusing on the theological implications of Scripture, Vanhoozer and Treier invite readers to engage in a thoughtful reflection on their faith. Theology and the Mirror of Scripture is not just an academic endeavor; it is a heartfelt invitation to build up the fellowship of saints through a deeper understanding of their shared beliefs.

Theology and the Mirror of scripture has mounted a compelling case for evangelical theology. More importantly, it avoids a number of pitfalls into which many Christians, not just evangelicals, have fallen (or are in danger of falling) in their theological task.' -- Khay Tham Nehemiah Lim, School of Divinity, University of Edinburgh * The ExpositoryTimes Vol 127, No. 12 *
