This Builder's Series is a recording from the Renewing the Evangelical Mission Conference held at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary from October 13-15, 2009. Listen to presentations from ten leading theologians as they grapple with the theological mission of the church in an increasingly post-Christian, post-partisan and global context.
Among questions considered are:
- How do global realities impact the historic mission of evangelical theology?
- What sense can be made of the unity of evangelical theology in light of its many diverse voices?
- How can/should evangelicals relate to the Great Tradition and also speak in the vernacular of global culture?
- What are the theological challenges and opportunities moving forward for American evangelicals?
This conference was held in honor of Dr. David F. Wells, former Andrew Mutch Distinguished Professor of Historical and Systematic Theology and current Distinguished Senior Research Professor at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary.
