Summary: Alister McGrath's confidence in evangelicalism is infectious, moving his readers to believe with him that this movement may "hold the key to the future of Western Christianity." But McGrath is aware of evangelicalism's weaknesses, especially its lack of appreciation for history and its own spiritual heritage. He proposes, then, ways for the movement to address its weaknesses and capitalize on its strengths.
