As part of the annual Evangelical Theological Society get-together, where the geeks-go-wild, last November, in the now Super Bowl capital of the world, New Orleans… WHO DAT?…  in the year 2009… Okay, take a breath…1,2,3…

Anyway, as part of this event, Crossway Books sponsored a lecture, and at this event, the lecture was given by one Don… Dr. D. A. Carson!

His topic of some-one’s choosing is worth you opening your flaps, putting down your landing gear, and coming in for a smooth landing as you listen-out-loud to what this man has to say!

You can listen to the audio… next!

However, Man of Spin being the book fiend… or is that friend?… Moving on… what I am affirming is that I believe that such a lecture has provided the motivation, or at least affirmed the reality for this up-coming title, which, on a certain page, includes a panel of moving pictures, where you can watch the lecture, and not just listen to it!… We will get there!

Here is a little about this title…

What defines today’s evangelicals? Are they people who fit an empirical, social-science profile? Have historical roots in the Reformation? Hold to certain theological priorities or fall within particular parameters? Is the term evangelical even useful anymore?

D. A. Carson responds to all of these questions and more in Evangelicalism. Carson defines and upacks the term, advocating a biblical/theological foundation that is built on the description of the gospel found in 1 Corinthians 15. First establishing that evangelicalism is Christological, biblical, historical, theological, apostolic, heraldic, and personal, he proceeds to demonstrate its continuing relevance and our need for its scripturally defined boundaries. Carson then critiques Mark Noll’s book Is the Reformation Over? and draws examples from Catholic doctrine, Christian experience, and modern scholarship to illustrate that the issues at stake in the Reformation are not settled.

Carson’s book will be welcomed by readers concerned about the future of evangelicalism and thinking about evangelicalism’s place in today’s religious forums.

As this title is not scheduled for publication until Sept. 30th, 20-10, you have plenty of time to save!
