Abstract
"Condensed into twenty-one chapters, Ronnie Prevost seeks to identify what he calls "Evangelical Protestant gifts to religious education." After noting the spectrum of congregations included within Evangelical Protestantism, Prevost divides the book into four sections to explore twenty provocative themes that highlight the diverse convictions its adherents maintain. Each section weaves resources from Scripture, the Evangelical Protestant tradition, contemporary sources and scholars and Prevost's experience, concluding with the identification of a specific "gift" culled from the creative tensions highlighted and explored. [2] Recognizing the challenge of defining a group that lacks a centralized authority to "certify" its members, Provost begins by exploring five unifying "dimensions" (historical, theological, ecclesiological, sociopolitical, and personal-ethical) that provide a useful framework for characterizing Evangelical Protestants. Prevost claims that by investigating these dimensions and their interrelations one can develop a greater understanding of the distinctive and diverse character of the evangelical movement. Repeated throughout the text, he introduces a technique of correlating local congregational particularities with their pedagogical practice to recognize the breadth of ideologies and practices within the Evangelical Protestant tradition and the unique unifying contributions or gifts they inspire. [3] The first section, Gifts of Commonality, "reminds of the need for core languages, a core curriculum, a core authority (Scripture) and a core experience" (31) in order to develop a common purpose and "equip and compel adherents to adopt those beliefs as their own" (53). The second section, "Gifts of Diversity," offers models developed by Evangelical Protestants for integrating a variety of elements from denominational, ecumenical, spiritual, developmental, and cultural sources. "Gifts of Function," the third section, explores frameworks for ensuring that a faith tradition's espoused and operative beliefs and practices are balanced through purposeful Bible Study, "I-Thou" relationships, purposeful study of moral and ethical issues, and a shared vision for growing the kingdom of God. Finally, "Gifts of Opportunity" delineates embodied learning and faith-filled responses that occur when opportunities for service, leadership, and cultural sensitivity permeate the "Catechism of Life."(pg 1)
