Evangelicals at an Impasse

Biblical Authority in Practice

By: Robert K. Johnston

Biblical inspiration and interpretation in conflict? Evangelicals assert that the Bible is the infallible source and sole authority for Christian beliefs and living. This premise is currently under fire from social and cultural mores AND, more importantly, from differences of biblical interpretation. Contradictory opinions have arisen on several issues. —What exactly does the Bible claim? —What is the rightful role of women in the church and at home? —How do Christians evaluate homosexuality (is it always a sin)? —What is the church’s role in social ethics? Evangelicals at an Impasse considers these burning issues and offers helpful guidelines. Robert K. Johnston seeks to bridge the gaps among the biblical writers, the church fathers, and contemporary humanity. He offers an effective way for Christians, and more specifically, evangelicals, to understand the Bible as it relates to theology, tradition, and culture. Johnston considers the issues, the facts surrounding them, social practices, the pros and cons on each question, and provides striking insights in his conclusions—conclusions, NOT solutions. Evangelicals and other Christians—in fact anyone interested in religion in America—will find this a fascinating and remarkable book.

The Variety of American Evangelicalism

The Variety of American Evangelicalism

By: Donald W. Dayton,Robert K. Johnston

What have Baptists to do with Lutherans of Holiness groups? Pietists with premillennialists? Pentecostals with restorationists? The self-consciously Reformed with Black religionists? Or fundamentalists with Adventists or Mennonites? Despite the apparent diversity of these groups, each has in some way been identified with American evangelicalism. Just how appropriate is such identification? How do these various traditions see themselves in relation to one another and the larger phenomenon known as evangelicalism? The editors of this volume have sought answers to these questions by inviting twelve expert interpreters of these traditions to compare each tradition's self-understanding with its understanding of evangelicalism. The result is a fascinating collection of essays - of interest to general readers as well as students and scholars - which make a significant contribution to the ongoing efforts to define and understand American evangelicalism.

God's Wider Presence

Reconsidering General Revelation

By: Robert K. Johnston

What are we to make of those occasional yet illuminating experiences of God's presence that occur outside both church and Scripture? We may encounter God's revelatory presence as we experience a beautiful sunset, the birth of a child, or a work of art, music, or literature. While theologians have tended to describe such experiences abstractly as mere traces or echoes, those involved often recognize such moments of transcendence as transformative. Here senior theologian Robert Johnston explores how Christians should think theologically about God's wider revelatory presence that is mediated outside the church through creation, conscience, and culture. The book offers a robust, constructive biblical theology of general revelation, rooting its insights in the broader Trinitarian work of the Spirit. Drawing in part from the author's theological engagement with film and the arts, the book helps Christians understand personal moments of experiencing God's transcendence and accounts for revelatory experiences of those outside the believing community. It also shows how God's revelatory presence can impact our interaction with nonbelievers and those of other faiths.

The Christian at Play

By: Robert K. Johnston

Play, as an event of the inventive human spirit, invites our most able Christian reflection. The person at play is expressing his or her God-given nature. Unable to understand our play as God-given, Christians are often inauthentic players. Johnston tries to help us to see that Christians are created to work and to play.

Pilgrims in Lotus Land

Conservative Protestantism in British Columbia, 1917-1981

By: Robert K. Burkinshaw

Burkinshaw traces the growth of conservative Protestantism in British Columbia from its clashes with liberal Protestants in the early twentieth century; through the post-World War II years when a bewildering variety of smaller groups, including Baptist and Pentecostal denominations as well as Mennonite, Reformed, and Evangelical Free churches, became important; to the 1970s when the majority of worshipping Protestants belonged to evangelical groups. He examines the factors that made evangelicalism more adaptable to changes in the geographic, ethnic, and social distribution of the province's population, and argues that while the evangelical movement in BC was influenced by American fundamentalism it was not simply an extension of the American campaign. He also examines the impact of evangelicals on provincial politics, most particularly their role in the rise of the Social Credit Party. Burkinshaw provides a wealth of new information on the phenomenon of twentieth-century evangelicalism and challenges us to rethink the nature of religious conservatism.

The authors have captured in print and photographs the essence of the man fondly remembered by his students as "Putty" The book includes reminiscences from more than thirty of Dr. Putname's former students and colleagues and a list of his published works. The authors of the biography are two of Putnam's former students. Marie (Lustig) Sanderson is currently a research professor with Environment Canada's Adaptation and Impacts Research Group at the U of T.
