Together We Stand

A 'seething pot' is how Jim Packer paints current evangelicalism and his Foreword commends the two authors of this book in their attempts to monitor and direct its UK scene. He goes on to contrast the church routines of his own youth with the 'wonderful ... new vitality' he sees today. This celebration volume for the 150th anniversary of the Evangelical Alliance is, as Packer rightly observes, a warts-and-all snap-shot of how things really are. 'The tidiness of sedate death is giving way to the untidiness of immature life.'
