Restless for rootedness, many Christians are abandoning Protestantism altogether. Many evangelicals today are aching for theological rootedness often found in other Christian traditions. Modern evangelicalism is not known for drawing from church history to inform views on the Christian life, which can lead to a "me and my Bible" approach to theology.
But this book aims to show how Protestantism offers the theological depth so many desire without the need for abandoning a distinctly evangelical identity. By focusing on particular doctrines and neglected theologians, this book shows how evangelicals can draw from the past to meet the challenges of the present.
Demonstrates a methodology of retrieval by addressing two particular areas of theology that could benefit from theological retrieval: the doctrine of God and the doctrine of the atonementIdentifies and begins to draw from particularly neglected theologians who may be especially helpful to retrieve: Boethius, Gregory the Great, and John of DamascusArgues that theological retrieval is one of the most helpful strategies for the church in an increasingly post-Christian world
