Why many Evangelicals are not Protestant: The Creedless Drift - Paperback

by Virgil A. Walker (Author)

In Why Many Evangelicals Are Not Protestant: The Creedless Drift, author Virgil A. Walker delivers a bold, loving critique of modern evangelicalism's departure from historic Christianity. Drawing parallels to early radical movements like the Paulicians, Bogomils, and Anabaptists, Walker argues that evangelicalism's emphasis on individual experience and rejection of historic creeds-such as the Nicene and Apostles'-has led to theological individualism, cultural conformity, and fringes like prosperity gospel and polygamist sects.

Grounded in Anglo-Lutheran theology's justification by faith and liturgy, Walker affirms evangelicals as fellow Christians while calling for a return to communal orthodoxy. With insights from Dietrich Bonhoeffer's warnings against "cheap grace" and resources like To Be a Christian: An Anglican Catechism, this book urges readers to reclaim the Reformation's disciplined faith, balancing truth and unity in love (1 Corinthians 13:6-7).

Ideal for theologians, church historians, and reform-minded believers, this concise exploration challenges evangelicals to seek first God's kingdom (Matthew 6:33) and heal the Church's wounds. Truth matters-discover how creedless drift threatens Protestantism and find hope in historic Christianity's enduring path.
