At times Foundations of Evangelical theology reads like a collection of quotes, reminding the reader that Evangelicals do have historic roots all the way back to the Church Fathers. The reader also comes away with the sense that even bad guys like Karl Marx have had a positive influence on modern evangelicalism. While the book is geared and written for the lay Christian Davis quotes so many historic figures the average reader could easily get lost trying to place names with eras and beliefs. Davis loads pages down with apt quotes from theologians from Augustine, Calvin, Wesley, Stone, and other less familiar names. Within the onslaught of quotes and figures is the thesis of the book, the Foundations of Evangelical theology.
Davis puts Evangelicalism were it belongs amongst the historic movements of the church but he does injustice to the movement by sliding strong political comments and bards from the religious right aimed at a host of other views.
Though the book is 22 years it's timing and content is still constructive for the modern church. At times the reader will realize what Davis warned about came true and at times the reader will be frustrated by the lack of movement in the past 22 years.
Davis hits his key topics hard and constantly. He preaches the need for a return to the scriptural authority and inerrancy, the need to balance of tradition, the place of the Holy Spirit and the perpetual focus on Christ.
The book would have been better off paired down to a manageable and focused 75 pages. I would recommend Foundations of Evangelical Theology to anyone looking to get an idea of how Evangelical thought meshes and opposes other prevalent Christian thought but only if the reader has a working knowledge of Christian figures and beliefs. The book works just as a collection of quotes from historic theologians as it as it does as a primer Christian theology in general. ( )
