Introduction: American Evangelicalism and the Broader Christian Tradition -- Continuing the Conversation -- Evangelicalism and the Exclusivity of Christianity -- Evangelicalism and the Modern Study of Scripture -- Evangelicalism and Morality -- Evangelicalism and Politics -- Evangelicalism and Scientific Models of Humanity and Cosmic and Human Origins -- Evangelicalism and Higher Education -- The Future of American Evangelicalism.

Summary: This book proposes that participation in "God's Project of Reconciliation" is the "Center" that can hold evangelical Christians together in the midst of great diversity in belief and ecclesiastical practices. The author envisions a vibrant future for the Evangelical movement if professing evangelicals can model that rare combination of deep commitment to their own beliefs; openness to listening to the beliefs of others; and willingness to engage inrespectful conversation with those who disagree with them in place of the combativeness that has characterized too much of Evangelicalism in the recent past. The book models this type of conversation on such controversial issues as the exclusivity of Christianity, the inerrancy of the bible, Evangelicalism and morality. Evangelicalism and politics, scientific models on humanity, cosmic andhuman origins, and the future of evangelical higher education.
