Book Review - Evangelicals and Tradition

Evangelicals and Tradition

Evangelicals and Tradition: The Formative Influence of the Early Church (Evangelical Ressourcement: Ancient Sources for the Church's Future)
Introduction
Can the church exist without tradition? This is the fundamental question in D.H. Williams’ work, Evangelicals and Tradition. According to Williams, the Protestant rejection of tradition is not only ignorant, since the sola statements of the Reformation are a tradition,[1] but also dangerous. Tradition to Williams is the guide, the rule by which we can evaluate the Christian life. Even if flawed, Williams work is sure to force careful consideration of how one practices faith and tradition.

Book Review - Constantine's Bible


Another project I'm working on is putting up book reviews. These are works that I've read for fun or for a class and that I think may be of worth talking about.
