What Is Evangelicalism?
Overview
What is an evangelical? Confusion over the meaning of the term is causing some to give up identifying themselves as evangelicals, while others insist that any attempt to delineate the boundaries of evangelicalism should be abandoned. Dr. Beeke accepts as evangelical, those brothers who accept the authority of Scripture, trust only in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, and believe that the historic reality of Christ’s atoning death and resurrection provide the only hope of salvation. Danger arises when there is no real understanding of such doctrines.
