In Henry H. Knight III explains how evangelical theologys historic commitment to revealed truth can still function in a world that is averse to truth claims and allergic to all forms of authority. Yet in addition to revealed truth, evangelicalism has always insisted on a direct, personal encounter with God in Christ and on personal involvement in Gods mission to redeem the world. How does evangelical Christianitys understanding of a loving God life fit in aworld suspicious of any claim to a normative encounter with the divine? How can one answer the call to love and serve in God's name whenall such calls are viewed inherently intolerant? In this book Knight wrestles with these and other questions of how evangelical Christians canprayerfully discernwhile also contextualizing the gospel in order to live with faithful effectiveness while avoiding unfaithful compromise.
