Modern ChristianityWhy do evangelicals become ex-evangelicals? The answers vary: some leave because they have been wounded by unwise or even abusive leaders; others depart because they come to doubt the truthfulness of Scripture; for still many more, there is no one obvious reason, just a long, slow drifting away. But for a significant number of ex-evangelicals, their disillusionment is not about religious apathy or aversion but, rather, quite the opposite.

<< Previous | 1 of 5 | Next >> ‘God is love’ (1 John 4:8). Those three words could hardly be more bouncy.
They seem lively, lovely, and as warming as a crackling fire. But ‘God is Trinity’? No, hardly the same effect: that just sounds cold and stodgy.

Irenaeus is thus a key architect of Christian thought. As such it is unsurprising that his influence spread so rapidly and so far (a fragment of Against Heresies, dating from when Irenaeus was still alive, has been found at Oxyrhynchus in Egypt, at the other side of the known world from where he wrote the work). We actually have no idea when or how Irenaeus died, though later tradition has it that he was martyred on June 28, 202.

Irenaeus of LyonsIrenaeus once wrote, Thou wilt not expect from me, who am resident among the Keltae, and am accustomed for the most part to use a barbarous dialect, any display of rhetoric, which I have never learned, or any excellence of composition, which I have never practiced, or any beauty and persuasiveness of style, to which I make no pretensions.1 As a result, Irenaeus has become a somewhat forgotten theologian, quickly dismissed as blundering and confused.

Beeke and Reeves’s Following God Fully was not written to create fresh interest in the Puritans: that interest has already existed since the 1950s when evangelical leaders such as D. M. Lloyd Jones (d. 1981) and his then-collaborator, J. I. Packer (d. 2020), began to draw attention to the neglected resources the Puritans had left us. There had been a similar Puritan resurgence in the first half of the nineteenth century.

Inside the pulpit in London where I learned to preach was a little inscription meant only for the preacher as he stepped up to his task: “Sir, we would see Jesus.” Those words from John 12:21 made clear what I was there to do. Yet, simple as the message was, it was not shallow. It reflected the deepest wells of Christian thought. For Jesus Christ is the truth and glory of God; in him the grace and life and wisdom of God is found.
