Evangelical Review of Theology, Volume 22

---

We are living in the midst of a literary, ideological and theological revolution which some predict will be as important as the Copernican revolution of the Middle Ages. The flood of literature on modernity and post- modernity, on secular and religious pluralism, and on religious fundamentalism and New Age movements is overwhelming. Most of us are left confused, yet we dare not ignore these challenges or overreact to them. To do so spells death for evangelicalism and to the cause of world evangelization. From the perspective of faith in Christ and his gospel we are being called to critique and respond o the claims of the neo- paganism and religious inclusiveness of our age. This issue of ERT is devoted to exploring these challenges to biblical faith and to developing a coherent theology that holds together the transcendent gospel and the cultural reality from below. We are called to a passionate engagement with the spirit of modernity and post- modernity in the world and in the Church, rejecting what is alien to the gospel and transforming what is open, to the glory of God. We are commissioned to build churches as communities of faith offering life which is eternal to all who are seeking
a reality which is liberating from suffering, oppression and despair. The symbolism of the Celtic Cross points the way forward.
