We Evangelicals and Our Mission: How We Got to Where We Are and How to Get to Where We Should Be Going - Paperback

by David J. Hesselgrave (Author), Lianna Davis (Author), Keith E. Eitel (Foreword by)

Classical orthodoxy, the Reformational understanding of the gospel, and the Great Awakening beliefs and behaviors, including missions/missiology, reflect what the evangelical movement and its mission should be if it is to have a future. Evangelicals must work and pray together in resubmission of their ways of thinking and working to the Word and the ministry of the Holy Spirit. They must recover the faith of the fathers and the mission of the revivalists. Nothing less will rescue American missions from a marginal role. Nothing less will reinvigorate historic doctrine and get missions back on the track to world evangelization.
