Provides a biblical definition of repentance and outlines
implications for evangelical churches.
Out of the Protestant Reformation came several important
doctrines, including a renewed understanding of repentance. Instead
of viewing repentance as a one-time confession, the reformers began
to teach what the Bible teaches--that it is both radical and
perpetual.
In this redesigned, concise volume Sinclair Ferguson examines
how the Bible defines repentance and how the doctrine has fared in
today's evangelical churches. He finds many sorely lacking in
proper theological understanding: "Once again we need to proclaim
the full-orbed doctrine of repentance within an evangelical world
that has begun to manifest symptoms of the same medieval sickness."
This reversion to a kind of medieval theology includes the viewing
of repentance as an isolated, emotional event.
Ferguson combats this trend by pointing us toward repentance in
the Bible. As we embrace continual confession and turning from sin,
we will find our spiritual walk transformed and our fellowship with
Christ renewed. This is an important book for every Christian who
wants the grace of repentance to regain rightful prominence in
evangelical churches.
