Is the American evangelical house in order? Or is it in need of a remodel? Or—even worse—should we sell the house altogether and look for another home?
In Hope for American Evangelicals, professor and former missionary Matthew Bennett inspects the American evangelical home. Perhaps, like him, you love evangelical doctrine, love the community in which you’ve been spiritually nurtured, and want to see it again become a thriving, hospitable environment for guests. But perhaps, also like Bennett, you think the home needs some touching up before this can be true.
In this book, with insights from Lesslie Newbigin, Bennett helps readers inspect the American evangelical house through the eyes of a missionary. As you join him on the tour, you’ll learn American evangelicalism’s how we can contextualize the gospel in our communities Our dining ethnic diversity as a proof of the gospel’s truth Our living the connection between our theology and the actual lives we live Our sexual idolatry in the church Our the difference between a manicured ministry and a missional ministry Our the relationship between our heavenly citizenship and our national citizenship
