Evangelical Social Gospel?
Finding God's Story in the Midst of Extremes
Introduction
Jesus taught that love for others is the path to God, that you can't love God if you don't love your neighbor.
About the Book
An Evangelical Social Gospel?, by Tim Suttle, shows how the exaggerated individualism of American culture distorts the gospel and weakens the church. He reaches back a full century to the writings of the great Baptist pastor Walter Rauschenbusch and offers an imaginative vision for how evangelicals can once again impact the world.
Key Themes
Bypassing the culture wars and liberal/conservative squabbling, Suttle offers a way in which the corporate nature of Christianity can be held alongside the evangelical belief in personal salvation. In so doing, Suttle provides valuable theological rationale for the moves many are making toward social justice and helps us rediscover why the nexus of personal and corporate faith is where we find the power to transform lives and cultures alike.
Approach and Perspective
His approach to corporate sin and salvation, the kingdom of God, and missional theology are deeply rooted in the life of a pastor, yet informed by a rich theological mind.
