The first in the Deep Church series, this book is an enquiry into
the culture of revivalism and the urgent need to retrieve core
ministry practices of the church. Charismatic Renewal has at the
core of its ideology an aspiration for revival. This is a laudable
aspiration, but in recent years, in the absence of a large-scale
evangelistic impact, it has encouraged a faddist mentality among
church leaders. The Gospel Driven Church documents this development
and the numerous theological and pastoral distortions that take
place when genuine revival fervour transmutes into revivalism.
Moreover, Stackhouse aims to show how a retrieval of some of the
core practices of the church, such as preaching, sacraments, the
laying of hands and prayer is essential at this crucial stage in
the trajectory of the renewal movement in the UK. He commends to
church leaders a recovery of these means of grace - including
Spirit baptism - as a way of keeping the church centred on gospel
rather than mere pragmatic concerns about size and numbers. - A
constructive critique of present-day Evangelicalism. - Mounts a
powerful attack on many of the fads found within the church today.-
Paints a picture of what the gospel driven church should look like.
