Summary

Few have failed to notice the increasing accommodation of American evangelicalism to worldly culture. Unless this trend is corrected, evangelicalism will soon lose the distinctives that have catapulted it to unparalleled success in the religious marketplace. This bold work by Robert Gundry finds in John's Gospel a powerful and much-needed antidote to worldliness.
