A Hopeful Calvinist’s Quest for Not unusual Ground
Richard Mouw, one of the influential evangelical voices in The united states, has been on a lifelong “quest for commonness”–engaging with others in a positive manner and advocating for a “convicted civility” when conversing with the ones with whom we disagree. Through nearly half a century of scholarship, leadership, and ministry, Mouw has sought to be informed from non-Christian scholars and other faith traditions and to cultivate a civility that may be compatible along with his Calvinist convictions.
In Adventures in Evangelical Civility, Mouw reflects on his almost fifty years of Christian public life, which supplies a unique lens for working out twentieth-century evangelicalism. He explores themes such as Not unusual grace, the imago Dei, and interfaith dialogue, offering a crucial assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of what he has accomplished as a spokesperson for evangelical and Reformed perspectives.
