Advancing the Vision: The Fourfold Gospel in Contemporary and Global Contexts
Ebook
After more than 130 years, the Fourfold Gospel--Jesus Christ, our Savior, Sanctifier, Healer, and Coming King--continues to find a ready following and creative expression around the world. Its success, however, means that it has come to be understood, expressed, and practiced in ways somewhat differently than it originally was. This volume, written by scholars from across the globe, explores these emphases in detail, articulating how the passage of well over a century and the crossing of oceans has resulted in the advancing of the original vision.
“Advancing the Vision is a fine tending to the fertile soil that is the Fourfold Gospel, the deeper life, and the centrality of Jesus for life, ministry, and mission. With rich experience and scholarship, each essay opens surprising pathways for new contexts and cultural challenges. It is a volume that speaks to the vibrancy of the Jesus-filled message that lies at the core of the Christian and Missionary Alliance worldwide.”
—David Fitch, Northern Seminary
“This excellent book edited by Bernie Van De Valle is essential reading for those interested in the development of the Christ-centered movement of Deeper Life and Missions started by A. B. Simpson. Written by different authors to address different topics, the book presents a common motif (the understanding of the true gospel) and a common motivation (its faithful living and proclamation). This book will help you to do both.”
—Jura Yanagihara, president, Alliance World Fellowship
“The Christian and Missionary Alliance, a small and relatively unknown denomination in Canada and the United States of America, is a thriving and vibrant movement in many countries around the world. Its ordinary theology, expressed as ‘the Fourfold Gospel,’ continues to unite Christians as they participate in God’s mission. This book represents a timely and necessary formulation of Alliance thought and practice. A significant contribution to the literature on the worldwide configuration of the Christian faith.”
