While there are many diatribes against the modern Word of Faith
Movement and as many defenses of it, little scholarly work has
investigated, analyzed, and compared and contrasted modern faith
teaching with earlier evangelical writers. Only Believe is such a
ground-breaking book scholarly book that is written for
non-scholars and scholars. Among its many accomplishments, Only
Believe . . . * theologically engages both the teachings of the
Word of Faith Movement and their critics, examining from the unique
viewpoint of the elliptical nature of truth the counter-polarities
of faith teaching and practice; * traces the origins of faith
teachings such as revelation knowledge, logos and rhema, point of
contact, seed faith, faith as a law and a force, covenant rights
and inheritance, positive confession, and attitudes toward doctors
and medicine through the church fathers, mystics, reformers,
Pietists, Puritans, and the 19th-century Wesleyan, Keswick, and
Higher Life holiness and healing movements; * draws upon the faith
teachings and practices of a wide variety of theological and
denominational backgrounds: Methodist, Baptist,
Presbyterian/Reformed, Episcopalian/Anglican, Lutheran,
Congregationalist, holiness, Brethren, Catholic,
Pentecostal/charismatic, and many others; * highlights positive,
balanced principles and models of faith of respected evangelical
leaders, guiding the reader away from questionable teaching and
practice and yet encouraging a walk by faith that is both strong
and sound; * contains a treasure house of preaching, teaching,
Bible study, examples of faith, and research material.
