"The Westminster Handbook to Evangelical Theology is a critical survey of the main persons, events, controversies, concepts, and institutions of twentieth-century evangelical theology. It will introduce readers to and be a reference work for the study of evangelicalism's distinctive theological vision in its unity and diversity. Olson explores evangelical theology through five lenses: The Story of Evangelical Theology, Movements and Organizations Related to Evangelical Theology, Key Figures in Evangelical Theology, Traditional Doctrines in Evangelical Theology, and Issues in Evangelical Theology. Of particular note is Olson's essay "The Story of Evangelical Theology." Here is a unique, compact narrative description of the origins, rise, and significance of evangelical theology in U.S. culture."--Jacket.
