Author: Wells, Tom

Condition: New

Wells does a fine job of analyzing some of the historical and broadly theological issues, while Zaspel concentrates on a careful exegesis of key New Testament textsespecially the pivotal Matthew 5:17-20. The combination is impressive and persuasive. ? Their careful biblical argument needs to be taken into account as the task of reforming our traditions in light of the witness of Scripture goes forward. From the Foreword by Douglas J. MooIf there is any hope of a meeting of minds, let alone of a resolution of the issues, it takes time, patience, intellectual humility, a willingness to be corrected, and thoughtful and empathetic listening combined with accurate and understated articulation of each partys understanding. And those are the values of this book. ? perhaps, in the mercy of God, we will discover, in time, that some genuine steps have been taken toward theological agreement. D. A. CarsonTom Wells and Fred Zaspel have moved us along the road ? of profitable discussion. They have shown unity with their contending brethren on many points while making clear the leading principles of NCT and setting in bold relief some of the major implications of those principles. Some of us who may not agree with all aspects of the position as articulated here, nevertheless hope that this book gains a wide and respectful reading. Tom Nettles
