Recovering Classic Evangelicalism by Gregory Alan Thornbury

Applying the Wisdom and Vision of Carl F. H. Henry

Aimed at reclaiming a rooted, historically informed evangelicalism, the book critiques the recent drift of evangelical culture into privatized faith, anti-intellectualism, and partisan postures and calls for a return to classical Protestant commitments — robust doctrine, confessional identity, liturgical and pastoral formation, and thoughtful public witness. It argues that renewed attention to the creeds, theological depth, the life of the local church, and a holistic approach to mission can restore evangelicalism’s distinctive evangelical convictions while equipping it to engage culture faithfully and charitably.
