The Fundamentals for the Twenty-First Century: Examining the Crucial Issues of the Christian Faith

Nearly a century after The Fundamentals: A Testimony of the Truth defended core fundamentalist doctrines against liberalism and apostasy, scholars now re-examine the issues and apply biblical principles to contemporary social and cultural concerns. John Walvoord, Tim LaHaye and others comment on topics such as abortion, Bible prophecy, feminism, pluralism, millennial kingdom, and more. 640 pages, hardcover from Kregel.

The men involved with The Fundamentals for the 21st Century delivered a body of doctrine in a polemic (and at times apologetic) fashion that is much needed at this point in church history. This book is solidly fundamental; it is historic-orthodox evangelical and unashamedly dispensational. Even if one is not a dispensationalist, this solidly conservative defense of "the Faith once for all delivered to the saints" is a "must" for your theological library. At college level reading, any technical jargon is explained so the material is understandable to anyone who reads it. There is simply no reason not to read this book. To identify the failures of Evangelicalism is not very popular, but such men as John MacArthur, Dave Doran and many authors in The Fundamentals for the 21st Century have been alerting us to the many errors in the church for a while now. But far from being a lambasting, “heresy-hunter” book, these respectable theologians deal with vitally important issues with “gentleness and love”, just as the Apostle Peter directed us. They tackle the issue of knowing truth (a rebuttal to postmodern thought), the abortion disaster, issues between the church and government, and other relevant topics, along with the essentials of the faith, e.g. the deity of Christ, the work of the Holy Spirit, and so on. I highly recommend this work for the Church wide, even to my Reformed and Pentecostal brothers. May our focus remain on Christ and may He enable us to finish our course and keep the faith, and this book is a tool through which He will work toward that end.

I think this book is one that should be in every Christian's library.If you are concerned with what is going on in our world in general and our country in particular,you should read and heed the material in this book. We as Christian's need to know what is important,as it says in IICor 4:18 "while we look not at the things which ar seen,but at the things which are not seen;for the things which are seen are temporal,but the things which are not seen are eternal. Thanks to the many authors of this book!
