Luther, Calvin, and Wesley not only spawned specific denominational traditions, but their writings have been instrumental in forging a broadly embraced evangelical theology as well. In this volume, Ben Witherington wrestles with some of the big ideas of these major traditional theological systems (sin, God's sovereignty, prophecy, grace, and the Holy Spirit), asking tough questions about their biblical foundations. Witherington argues that evangelicalism sometimes wrongly assumes a biblical warrant for some of its more popular beliefs, and, further, he pushes the reader to engage the larger story and plot of the Bible to understand these central elements of belief.</abstract> <note type="statement of responsibility">Ben Witherington III</note> <subject> <topic>Evangelical Theology</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Dispensationalism</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Calvin, Jean, 1509-1564</topic> </subject> <subject> <topic>Wesley, John, -- 1703-1791</topic> </subject> <classification authority="ddc">230.04624</classification> <classification authority="ddc">W823-B46</classification> <identifier type="isbn">193792422</identifier> <identifier type="uri">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14954/51mz4kziill-sy466.jpg</identifier> <location> <url displayLabel="Cover Image">https://data.thuviencodoc.org/books/14954/51mz4kziill-sy466.jpg</url> </location> <recordInfo> <recordCreationDate encoding="marc">2024-0</recordCreationDate> <recordChangeDate encoding="iso8601">20260119071425.0</recordChangeDate> </recordInfo> </mods>
