The past decade has seen unmistakable evidence of a movement toward theological ecumenicity. Protestants and Roman Catholics have more nearly come together than at any time since the Reformation; denominations have joined in fraternal association on both national and world levels; mergers between denominations have been discussed, sometimes accomplished. But for all that Protestant Christianity remains sharply divided - and the division is growing deeper, threatening the existence both of individual denominations and of the ecumenical movement itself. The issues, Richard Coleman believes, are theological in nature; and the battle lines are drawn between liberals and evangelicals. In Issues Of Theological Warfare Coleman presents both sides of the key issues, fairly and objectively. He makes no effort to blunt the differences, or to suggest compromises. His basic premise is that both evangelicals and liberals have something to teach; and both have something to learn. Coleman's intent is to set clearly before the reader those areas in which discussion and learning must occur if there is to be any hope of healing.
