Roger Olson provides us with a concise, lively and readable history of evangelical theology.
Finding its antecedents in early Pietism of the late seventeenth century, Olson traces its development through the revivalism in Great Britain and America in the eighteenth century from its roots within Puritanism, Wesleyanism and the Great Awakening.
Olson then takes us forward in time as he considers evangelicalism in its connection with the Old Princeton theology, Holiness-Pentecostalism and fundamentalism, tracing its course to our contemporary context.
Great as a reference book, a refresher course or for use in introductory theology classes.
Designed for students and pastors alike, the short and accessible volumes in the IVP Pocket Reference Series will help you tackle the study of biblical languages, church history, apologetics, world religions, Christian spirituality, ethics, theology, and more.
"Roger Olson demonstrates that he is not only a formidable theologian in his own right but also one who has an uncommon command of the work of others."
"A helpful essay that tells the story of his many-sided subject."
"Concise, lucid and balanced."
"As with all the 'Pocket' series from IVP, this terrific distillation allows you to build a shelf-sized library of Christian history and theology at a very affordable price."
"A useful book in the midst of ongoing discussions. What makes this so helpful is the author's use of history as a means of defining."
"What an amazing little volume! I only wish I had this when I was a beginning university student."
"This small text gives a succinct, accurate . . . introduction to the history of Evangelicalism."
