This is a laudable aspiration, but in recent years, in the absence of large-scale evangelistic impact, such a vision has encouraged a faddist mentality among church leaders in this part of the body of Christ." "The Gospel-Driven Church documents this development and the numerous theological and pastoral distortions that take place when genuine revival fervour transmutes into revivalism. Moreover Ian Stackhouse aims to show how a retrieval of some of the core practices of the church, such as preaching, sacraments, the laying on of hands and prayer are essential at this crucial stage in the trajectory of the renewal movement. He commends to church leaders a recovery of these means of grace as a way of keeping the church centred on the gospel rather than mere pragmatic concerns about size and numbers."--BOOK JACKET. | ||
