Adventures in Evangelical Civility

A Hopeful Calvinist's Quest for Common Ground Richard Mouw one of the most influential evangelical voices in America has been on a lifelong "quest for commonness"--engaging with others in a positive manner and advocating for a "convicted civility" when conversing with those with whom we disagree. Through nearly half a century of scholarship leadership and ministry Mouw has sought to learn from non-Christian scholars and other faith traditions and to cultivate a civility that is compatible with his Calvinist convictions. In Adventures in Evangelical Civility Mouw reflects on his almost fifty years of Christian public life which provides a unique lens for understanding twentieth-century evangelicalism. He explores themes such as common grace the imago Dei and interfaith dialogue offering a critical assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of what he has accomplished as a spokesperson for evangelical and Reformed perspectives.
