Description
Jesus Christ promised a unity for his church. A significant theological consensus holds the evangelical church together. Renowned theologians J. I. Packer and Thomas C. Oden make the case for this unity, citing widely representative statements from international evangelical faith since 1950. Packer and Oden survey key documents of evangelicalism, including the Lausanne Covenant, the Manila Manifesto, The Gospel of Jesus Christ: An Evangelical Celebration, and the Amsterdam Declaration. They also reference numerous other documents produced by evangelical theological seminaries, societies, mission agencies, parachurch organizations, and special convocations. The book presents sixteen different theological themes, providing a potential foundation for a new ecumenism that gives glory to the God of our Lord Jesus Christ according to the good news of his gospel.
