Kenneth S. Kantzer and Carl F.H. Henry et al. on Evangelical Affirmations

Kenneth S. Kantzer and Carl F.H. Henry (eds.), Evangelical Affirmations (Grand Rapids: Zondervan, 1990), 535pp., ISBN 0310595312.

This volume consists of papers presented at the Convocation on Evangelical Affirmations at Trinity Evangelical Divinity School in May 1989. I was googling the title of one of the essays, and stumbled across the entire collection available online. The table of contents with links to individual papers and responses can be found here.

I read the collection when it first came out, and benefited from doing so. The debate about the nature of evangelicalism has moved on in the last twenty years, but some of these remain useful discussions, in my opinion.
