Alister McGrath has had a tremendous impact on the renaissance of
evangelical theology over the last twenty years. Regarded as one of
the most widely read living theologians his theological work and
writings has made an immense contribution to the vitality and
dynamics of evangelical theology. This book invites evangelical
theologians from various backgrounds to engage with his work and to
chart a positive way forward for evangelical theology. Part One
follows the theology of McGrath on justification, redemption,
theology and science and post-liberal theology, whilst Part Two
examines the essence, character, identity, methodology and future
of evangelical theology. Contributions include Graham Tomlin,
Gerald Bray, Clark Pinnock, Gabriel Fackre, William Abraham, and a
response given by McGrath himself. 'This is a very significant
volume, with contributions from numerous scholars who have been
influenced by Dr McGrath or are his colleagues. They come from both
sides of the Atlantic, and embrace many aspects of Alister's
encyclopaedic knowledge and phenomenal literary output... And
unlike most Festschriften this one has a fascinating
characteristic; a final chapter in which Professor McGrath responds
with grace and shrewdness to the points raised by the contributors.
This is an important book to buy.' Canon Dr Michael Green, Wycliffe
Hall, Oxford. 'It is a privilege and a pleasure to commend this set
of weighty and wise essays that is being published to mark
Professor Alister McGrath's fiftieth birthday... God be with you,
Alister, as on you go. In a somewhat different sense from that of
the old-time gladiators, I and many more of my generation say: nos
morituri te salutamus. May your range and your acumen not diminish,
your clarity not be clouded, and your vision of evangelicalism as
the true wisdom, the true catholicity, and indeed the true
Christianity never blur. Hold high the torch that has been passed
to you and keep the books coming. We need them.' From the foreword
by J.I Packer
