A Family of Faith answers this question by exploring the rich heritage and various branches that make up God's family-the church. Focusing particularly on the evangelical branch, the authors open up the Christian family album, introduce its main characters, and bring the lessons of the past to bear on the present scene-always with the goal of encouraging us to be faithful to Jesus Christ now.
"A helpful introduction to the evangelical heritage and a forthright challenge to remain true to this heritage." -Donald G. Bloesch, Dubuque Theological Seminary, Emeritus
"The authors stake out the essentials of an evangelical Christian worldview and trace its development from the early church through the variety of post-Reformation traditions to today's evangelical diversity-always with an eye to how Christianity relates to culture. A first-rate text." -Arthur Holmes, Wheaton College, Emeritus
"Evangelical ecumenicity at its best: an understanding of the worldview we share in common and an appreciation for the distinctives that make us unique." -Dennis Hollinger, Messiah College
"The authors present a balance of content with narrative style to produce a unique book: one which offers an overview of systematic theology coupled with a readable history of theology, leading up to present concerns that face the church as the church faces the world." -W. Gary Phillips, Bryan College
