Routes and Radishes: And Other Things to Talk about at the Evangelical Crossroads
Great book (though admittedly odd first two words of the title; don't let that dissuade you from taking a look at it). I read it because my friend Chelle Stearns (fellow Regent College alumna), who is one of the authors, gave me a copy.
In the interest of helping Logos bring out all of Zondervan's back catalogue, especially the ones that have good reviews and/or other personal recommendations, I'm suggesting this.
Amazon blurb:
Self-identifying as “evangelical” is risky business these days. What is Evangelicalism? Is it a historical artifact? A political philosophy? A set of doctrines? A litmus test for genuine faith? Perhaps more important, what will come to mind when future generations hear something described as “evangelical”?
The authors of Routes and Radishes approach this issue from various points of influence within evangelical organizations, denominations, and institutions. They believe that the historical distinctive of Evangelicalism is too powerful and too positive to be abandoned. Yet they all desire that the Evangelicalism of the future break away from common pitfalls in the task of loving people toward a vital relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
Each author brings a different but vital perspective to the conversation this book represents. They chart a path that, while not monolithic, takes seriously the past and potential of the evangelical movement. Furthermore, they invite you to digest, participate, question, and make the future of Evangelicalism a meaningful part of your walk of faith.
