Opis

This book returns to the true nature of the gospel, justification by grace alone through faith alone because of Christ alone. Fundamental to the book s argument is a rejection of the biblical truth and the faithful heritage of the gospel. By tracing the development of Reformation theology in Luther and Calvin, the giants in the American Great Awakening and the Korean revivals are brought up for analysis: Jonathan Edwards, Timothy Dwight, Sun-Ju Kil, Ik-Doo Kim, Yong-Do Lee, and Sung-Bong Lee. Paul ChulHong Kang makes clear what can be at stake not merely for academic theologians but for all Christians the gospel itself."

Recenzje

«Paul ChulHong Kang has given us much more than a helpful academic look at the past. His purpose, his passion, is to point us to a better way, the old Gospel way. Those distracted by today's theological fashions will be re-oriented to what is truly needful; those seeking after a relevant message for today will find it here.» (D. Clair Davis, Professor Emeritus of Church History, Westminster Theological Seminary)
«Paul ChulHong Kang has done pioneering work with regard to the impact of the American Great Awakening on revivalism within the Korean church. Using the doctrine of justification as a criterion he demonstrates compellingly the strong leaning in both movements toward Pelagianism and Arminianism. Kang argues strongly in favor of a Reformed spirituality that takes the articulus stantis et cadentis ecclesiae (the article upon which the church stands or falls) seriously.» (P. F. Theron, Professor of Systematic Theology, University of Stellenbosch)
