What do Evangelicals Think about God | Bruce McCormack

2011 Kantzer Lecture #1 - Is the Reformation Over? Reflections on the Place of the Doctrine of God in Evangelical Theology Today
Bruce McCormack inaugurated his Kantzer Lecture (the first of seven) by surveying the contemporary theological and ecclesiological landscape in America, including denominational transformation and doctrinal erosion in the evangelical church. In particular, McCormack explores the state of evangelical thinking regarding the Doctrine of God. He does so by way of two test cases: the subordination debate and the McCall-Piper debate. In each case, McCormack articulates the basic argument of the opposing sides before demonstrating the inadequacies of both. In the end, a new way forward will be the doctrine of God he develops in the succeeding lectures.
Bruce L. McCormack (PhD Princeton Theological Seminary) is Chair of Modern Theology at the University of Aberdeen. Previously, he was Charles Hodge Professor of Systematic Theology at Princeton Seminary. One of his major publications is Karl Barth’s Critically Realistic Dialectical Theology: Its Genesis and Development, 1909-1936 (Clarendon Press, 1995).
The Henry Center for Theological Understanding provides theological resources that help bridge the gap between the academy and the church. It houses a cluster of initiatives, each of which is aimed at applying practical Christian wisdom to important kingdom issues-for the good of the church, for the soul of the theological academy, for the sake of the world, and ultimately for the glory of God. The HCTU seeks to ground each of these initiatives in Scripture, and it pursues these goals collaboratively, in order to train a new generation of wise interpreters of the Word-lay persons and scholars alike-for the sake of tomorrow’s church, academy, and world.
