About this book

From Dust Jacket Flap: For all its depth and philosophical penetration, John's Gospel is the universal textbook of practical evangelism. Taking from the Johannine Epistles and intense emphasis on the unencumbered personal relationship with God, evangelicals tend to submit to subjectivism and self-deception; to anti-intellectualism and anti-ethical emotionalism; to excessive individualism and divisiveness; to withdrawal from civic and social responsibility, and to a want of maturity, a clinging so long to fundamentals as never to come within sight of the ultimates. Most evangelicals are aware of these tendencies. It is precisely this awareness of the values and perils of evangelicalism that again directs our attention to John for counsel - counsel that is directly relevant to the besetting weaknesses of evangelicalism in every age.
