In the changing political, social, and religious landscape of
the West, the term evangelical is increasingly losing meaning and
credibility. Although some people say there is no unity to what
evangelicals believe, church historian Christopher Catherwood sets
out to prove otherwise, stating, "We are a people defined by our
beliefs, and that is what distinguishes us in our twenty-first
century postmodern times." Catherwood delivers a succinct and
organized review of the global evangelical movement, looking at its
earliest days, current place in world Christianity, political and
social influence, unifying theological doctrinal beliefs, and its
view on eschatology.
Using the doctrinal basis of the International Fellowship of
Evangelical Students and the 1974 Lausanne Covenant, Catherwood
summarizes evangelical beliefs before describing the scope of the
global church and the shift of evangelicalism's center from the
global North and West to the South and East. Catherwood
demonstrates that the term evangelical is not only meaningful, but
necessary. Anyone wanting to know about the past, present, and
future of evangelicalism will find this book helpful.
