Future Theological Threats
What are impending threats facing evangelicalism? Though the brothers on this panel discuss many, Mark Dever reminds us of the glorious confession that there may be none! Christ could return today, and at some point theological threats will be no more. Yet we still prepare to be ready to give an answer in season and out of season for the hope that we hold. We pray this panel encourages you as you do just that.
