| Publisher Description: American evangelicalism has grown dramatically in the last twenty years. However, despite all the people, activities, resources, and money, many Christians who work hard at their religion do not experience the sense of ultimate well-being and spiritual joy that Jesus promises us. In Toward a Modern Reformation, author Jon Windness points out one source of our disappointment and failure. The problem is what he calls Neo-Arminianism, a human-enablement and self-help gospel that is displacing the grace-based gospel of the Bible. He gives examples of Neo-Arminian teachings, discusses the movement's historical roots, reveals the old Christian heresies that are being revived, argues for the biblical way to salvation, and demonstrates the God-centered lives of the saints. Windness then proclaims our need to return to the key discovery of the original Reformation and outlines the essential elements for a modern Reformation church. Toward a Modern Reformation is Windness's call for widespread evangelical dialogue to help us recover grace in our theology. Whether you are a seeker, believer, pastor, church leader, seminary dean, or theology student, you will benefit from his insight. |
