From a review by "Chaplain Mike" at
Internet Monk of Trevin Wax's book
Counterfeit Gospels
In my opinion, Counterfeit Gospels: Rediscovering the Good News in a World of False Hope
, by Trevin Wax, represents the best kind of thinking and presentation that evangelicalism has to offer the broader church today at a level that pastors and serious laypeople can appreciate and find useful.
It is written in simple, clear language, yet represents solid, informed thinking.
It is well-organized into a presentation that is readily understandable, logical, sensible, and easy to teach.
It communicates a clear perspective and strong convictions, yet does so in a gracious and winsome manner.
It interacts well, not only with the New Reformed doctrinal positions that the author clearly sympathizes with, but also with many ideas and trends in other contemporary evangelical movements.
It remains tightly focused on problems inherent in today’s evangelicalism. It does not deal with other questions that might be asked regarding corruptions of the Gospel in the broader Christian family, but this allows Wax keep his diagnostic and prescriptive energies pinpointed on his target audience without trying to do too much.
I really want to read this book1
