What will evangelism look like if it continues on the course it has followed in the past twenty-five years? Will the term evangelical even have significance? The authors of The Coming Evangelical Crisis assert that the practices and beliefs that have guided the church since the Reformation are in jeopardy. The past few decades have seen a drift away from the doctrines that were the driving force of the church for nearly four centuries. Perhaps that is why, despite the church's widespread evangelism programs, million-dollar crusades, and aggressive strategies for church growth, our culture continues on its course of disbelief and moral decline. In The Coming Evangelical Crisis, fifteen respected Christian leaders and thinkers come together to sound the alarm about the growing trend toward a tentative and diluted gospel message. Unless a concerted effort is made to correct the drift away from fundamental doctrines of the Christian faith, the church will become even less effective in the years ahead. A compelling and challenging book, this is a valuable resource for pastors, teachers, leaders, and anyone who is concerned about the effectiveness of the church in this generation.
