Editorial Review

Thirteen Reformed scholars take on postmodern evangelicals andprovide a solid, biblical critique of their ideas.While self-described "post-conservative evangelicals" enjoyincreasing influence in the evangelical world, they represent asignificant challenge to biblical faith. Popularizers like BrianMcLaren (of Emergent Church fame) trade on the work of scholarslike Stan Grenz, John Franke, and Roger Olson, whose "innovations"represent a major makeover of traditional and historic evangelicaltheology. This is especially the case with the doctrines ofScripture, the atonement, and the character of God-all of whichstand at the center of evangelical Christianity.In Reforming or Conforming?, scholars such as JohnBolt, Scott Clark, Paul Helm, and Paul Helseth join editors GaryJohnson and Ron Gleason in analyzing and critiquing the ideas ofthose who promote postmodernism as a positive force in theology.Pastors, laymen, and college students will find this book a helpfulresource in understanding and refuting postmodern evangelicalism.Includes a foreword by David F. Wells.
